Abstract: A drive system including a guide rail arrangement fixed to a roof module, a drive slide, a front-side lifting arrangement, a rear-side extension mechanism, and a profiled support part. The lifting arrangement and the extension mechanism interact with the profiled support part such that the profiled support part is guided in a force-controlled manner between a closed, ventilating and open positions of the roof part. The coupling device end region remote from the extension mechanism has a coupling slide which is guided in the guide rail arrangement and which comprises a blocking element that can be moved in the vertical direction. A stationary latch recess is provided in the guide rail arrangement, and the drive slide has a receiving area. Depending on the position of the drive slide, the blocking element is moved into the latch recess or into the receiving area in a force-controlled manner by mechanical control contours.

Abstract: A side shield arrangement for an openable roof system of an automotive vehicle, comprising a shield blade which is mounted to be pivotable between a lowered rest position and a deployed functional position, which has two bearing points spaced from each other in the longitudinal direction of the shield blade, and which has force applied by a spring device towards the direction of the deployed functional position, is known. According to the invention, a front bearing point is disposed on the face end of the shield blade, and a rear bearing point is provided with the spring device.

Abstract: A drive system for a movable roof part of a motor vehicle roof module having at least one support bar fastened to the roof part, at least one control carriage movable linearly via a drive arrangement in a guide track running laterally along the roof part, at least one deployment mechanism which pivots, raises and lowers the support bar and the roof part, and a stationary roof region arranged behind the movable roof part. The movable roof part is pivotable from a closed position into a lifted position, is lowerable into an open position and is movable rearward under the roof region. The support bar is mounted so as to be pivotable about a pivot joint on a compensating element which, depending on the movement position of the roof part, is shiftable relative to a front guide arrangement of the deployment mechanism into different positions.

Abstract: Roof system for a motor vehicle having a fixed roof cutout and having a movably mounted roof part for closing and opening the roof cutout which is displaceable by a tilt and guide mechanism between a closed position, a tilt position and an open position. The tilt and guide mechanism includes on both sides of the roof part in each case a front tilt lever and a rear tilt lever pivotably connected to the roof part by means of a pivot point and operatively connected to a control carriage movable in a guide rail arrangement. The roof part pivot points of the front and of the rear tilt lever are interconnected by an integral, dimensionally stable fastening profile extending along a side edge of the roof part and fastened on the side edge thereof.

Abstract: A roof system for a motor vehicle with a roof opening and a movable roof part for opening up and closing the roof opening, the roof part being assigned a web guide on opposite sides, the web guide permitting a longitudinal displacement and a vertical shifting of the roof part. Each web guide is assigned a respective slider unit which has a carrier structure which is tiltable in the manner of a rocker and on both sides of a rocker axis, as seen in the longitudinal direction, has sliding sections which receive the web guide. The two sliding sections are formed by a common sliding body which extends in the longitudinal direction beyond the rocker axis and is of elastically flexible design.

Abstract: Wind protection device on an openable roof portion of a motor vehicle having a curved wind deflection member on which a flexible wind protection structure is retained and which has at least one lateral wind deflection arm which can be displaced by means of a guiding mechanism in the vertical direction and in the longitudinal direction of the openable roof portion in such a manner that the curved wind deflection member can be displaced between a lower rest position and an upwardly deployed operating position in which the wind protection structure is set up. The guiding mechanism includes a resilient unit in order to support the movement of the curved wind deflection member into the operating position thereof. The guiding mechanism also has a linear force guide having a curved guiding path, along which the curved wind deflection member is displaced in the longitudinal and vertical direction relative to the roof portion.

Abstract: A drive transmission system for a sheet-like structure movable in relation to a vehicle section, with at least one flexible drive cable which can transmit tensile and/or compressive forces, and with at least one stationary dimensionally stable conduit in which the drive cable is laid. The drive cable is guided in a slidably movable manner in a flexible plastic hose which is arranged in the conduit and which is held stationarily in relation to the conduit, the plastic hose having on the inside low sliding friction with respect to the drive cable.
