Abstract: A roller blind system for a sliding roof includes a guide rail and a spring steel band that is guided in the guide rail in sections. The spring steel band has an end that is situated outside the guide rail, and which contracts to a coil. A roller blind is attached to the spring steel band, and a compensation spring is provided.

Abstract: A wind deflector mechanism for a vehicle sliding roof system includes a wind deflector lever attached to a wind deflector element. The wind deflector lever is attachable to a vehicle and can be swiveled between a home position and a raised position. A raising lever is coupled to the wind deflector lever and swivels the wind deflector lever between the home position and the raised position. A raising spring acts upon the raising lever substantially in such a manner that the raising lever biases the wind deflector lever toward the raised position.

Abstract: A sliding roof system for a motor vehicle includes at least one guide rail, at least one guide carriage movably received in the guide rail, and a cover support that can be shifted relative to the guide rail. The cover support is connected with the guide carriage through two slotted guides and is connected with the guide rail through one slotted guide.

Abstract: A foamed vehicle component has a foamed main component and an insert. The insert serves as a fastening element and is embedded in the foamed main component by foaming. The insert, in a portion embedded in the foamed main component, is surrounded at least in sections by an elastic intermediate component. Pliability of the elastic intermediate component is larger than that of the foamed main component, so that the insert is resiliently supported in the foamed main component.

Abstract: A guide rail for a sliding roof system in a motor vehicle includes a first rail element and a second rail element rigidly connected to the first rail element. A guide track extends without interruption over the first and second rail elements. The first and second rail elements include abutment edges that face each other. The abutment edges run in a generally straight line to form an acute angle relative to a longitudinal direction of the guide rail.

Abstract: A window blind for a sliding roof system having a flexible material and two guide elements extending along the longitudinal edges of the flexible material. The guide elements engage in a guide associated with a corresponding longitudinal edge. The guide element is a flat strip that is fastened to a longitudinal edge of the flexible material so that it can be wound up together with the window blind.

Abstract: The invention relates to a window blind for a sliding roof system includes a flexible material and two flat spiral springs that extend along the longitudinal edges of the window blind. The flat spiral springs tend to contract into a spiral shape, winding the flexible material into a coil.

Abstract: A sunshade assembly for a vehicle roof has a window shade that is movable along guide rails toward the front and rear of the vehicle. Drive elements are connected to a front edge of the window shade, and rotatable tension wheels are mounted to the guide rail and coupled with the drive elements to pull taut a front portion of the window shade disposed between the front edge and the tension wheels.

Abstract: A roller blind system comprising a first roller blind, a second roller blind and a coiling body that accommodates the first and second roller blinds. The edges of the first and second roller blinds are offset with respect to each other in an axial direction relative to the rotational axis of the coiling body.

Abstract: The invention relates to a guide rail for a window blind of a sliding roof system. The guide rail includes a retaining portion that attaches the guide rail to a vehicle. The guide rail also includes a guide portion that receives the window blind, and a resilient connecting portion which is arranged between the retaining portion and the guide portion.

Abstract: A seal for the guide of an openable vehicle roof has an elastic sealing profile and a harder sealing strip that is mounted thereon and that is configured as a separate part. When the seal must be compressed, in order to make space for a connecting member between the longitudinal guide and the raised cover panel, only the sliding strip is contacted so that the sealing element is not subjected to any wear and tear.

Abstract: A foaming die comprises a lower part and an upper part. A foaming cavity is formed between the lower part and the upper part, and a membrane is mounted on the inside of the foaming die at the inside of at least one of the lower part and the upper part. The membrane delimits the foaming cavity and transports gas to gas outlet openings during the foaming process. The invention is particularly suitable for forming vehicle body panel parts with a foamed backing.
