Abstract: A vehicular sun roofing apparatus including a roofing panel (3) for tilting up and sliding and a sunshade member (4) for sliding is provided to open/close an opening (2) formed on a vehicular roof (1). The panel (3) is operated by an electrical means in response to input acts on a panel open/close switch (19, 20), and the sunshade (4) is operated by an electrical means in response to input acts on a sunshade switch (21, 22), wherein control devices (23, 40) for actions of the panel (3) and sunshade (4) are provided, and an ON act on the panel opening switch (19) causes not only opening action of the panel (3), but also selective opening action of the sunshade (4) to arrive at a predetermined point, depending on a location of the sunshade (3) at the switched moment.

Abstract: A vehicle roof having a fixed roof structure through which a roof opening extends and which is closable and selectively openable by a sunroof apparatus having a pair of cover panels which, in a position closing the roof opening, are disposed one behind the other in the vehicle longitudinal direction. The front panel is displaceable from its closed position into an upwardly tilted position and, while upwardly tilted, is rearwardly slidable to a position in which a rear portion of the front cover panel projects over the rear cover panel or, when the rear cover panel (which is detachably mounted) is removed, projects over a rear edge of the roof opening. The construction of the sunroof apparatus enables the roof opening to extend approximately the full length of the fixed roof structure.
