Abstract

A drive system for a movable roof part of a motor vehicle roof module having at least one support bar fastened to the roof part, at least one control carriage movable linearly via a drive arrangement in a guide track running laterally along the roof part, at least one deployment mechanism which pivots, raises and lowers the support bar and the roof part, and a stationary roof region arranged behind the movable roof part. The movable roof part is pivotable from a closed position into a lifted position, is lowerable into an open position and is movable rearward under the roof region. The support bar is mounted so as to be pivotable about a pivot joint on a compensating element which, depending on the movement position of the roof part, is shiftable relative to a front guide arrangement of the deployment mechanism into different positions.
