The energized sunroof glass comprises a rear glass and a front glass (1) being slidable relative to the rear glass. The vehicle sunroof further comprises a movable wire harness (6), one end of the movable wire harness (6) is electrically connected to the front glass (1), and the other end of the movable wire harness (6) is electrically connected to a main wire harness of the vehicle sunroof. A hard guiding member (6d) is disposed inside the movable wire harness (6) and penetrates through at least part of the length of the movable wire harness (6) to guide the movable wire harness (6) to be rolled up or spread when the from glass (1) slides. The movable wire harness connection structure of the vehicle sunroof is small in size, and has fewer components but high integration. Further, the movable wire harness is not easy to get tangled and has a good self-guiding function during operation of the sunroof.
