Abstract: In a control process and control device for motor vehicles with an unfoldable roof, in which at least one roof part or a lid is moved in at least one movement phase defined by a displacement path for the roof part or the lid, the displacement path is bounded by two end positions. By way of an electronic control device, the displacement device for the movement of the roof part or of the lid is actuated such that the speed at which the roof part or the lid is moved is smaller for a first path segment beginning the displacement path and for a second path segment ending the displacement path than the speed for the path segment between the first path segment and the second path segment.

Abstract: A flap in the covering of a vehicle can be adjusted by flap kinematics between a closed position, in which the flap is situated essentially in the plane of the vehicle covering, and an opening position. In an operationally reliable construction, a vehicle-fixed link path for the passive guidance of a first guiding lever, which connects the flap with the vehicle, is provided in the lateral area of the flap. In the opposite lateral area of the flap, a second, actively guided guiding lever is arranged which is acted upon by a motor-driven actuator.
