  • Passenger car having a roof module
    Patent number: 11932094
    Abstract: A passenger car includes a roof with a roof opening. A roof module is disposed in the roof opening where the roof opening is delimited by transverse elements and longitudinal elements. The roof module includes a module frame that includes longitudinal frame parts spaced apart from one another in a transverse direction of the passenger car and transverse frame parts spaced apart from one another in a longitudinal direction of the passenger car where the longitudinal frame parts are connected to one another by the transverse frame parts. One of the transverse frame parts is directly connected to one of the transverse elements such that a profile component is formed which has a closed hollow cross section where the one of the transverse elements forms a lower shell of the profile component and the one of the transverse frame parts forms an upper shell of the profile component.
