  • Publication number: 20240116335
    Abstract: An anti-lift sunroof structure is provided, which can be opened and closed on an opening of a vehicle roof. The anti-lift sunroof structure includes a glass panel, a window frame, and a support element. The window frame includes a front frame bar, two side frame bars, and a rear frame bar. Two ends of each side frame bar are respectively connected to the front frame bar and the rear frame bar to form a mounting groove for installation of the glass panel. The support element is arranged corresponding to the front frame bar and includes a stop plate extended away from the rear frame bar. When the anti-lift sunroof structure is in a close position, the stop plate is located under the vehicle roof. Accordingly, sealing capability is prevented from being affected by excessive outward suction from a pressure difference when the vehicle is running at high speed.

  • Publication number: 20240116343
    Abstract: A window panel assembly includes a glass panel, a window frame and a sealing strip. The window frame is installed on the glass panel, the window frame includes an abutment seat extended therefrom. The abutment seat includes a connecting portion and an elastic arm portion. The connecting portion is connected to the window frame and the elastic arm portion. The elastic arm portion includes an abutment surface. The abutment seat includes blocking surfaces at two sides of the abutment surface. A buffer space is formed between the elastic portion and the window frame. The sealing strip is arranged at the window frame, and the sealing strip abuts against the blocking surfaces. Accordingly, the sealing effect of the window panel assembly during closing is improved without gaps.

  • Patent number: 9296282
    Abstract: An open roof construction is provided for a vehicle having a roof opening in a stationary roof part of the vehicle. The roof opening comprises forward and rearward roof opening edges which each extend transversely and two opposite, longitudinally extending roof opening side edges. At least at some of said roof opening side edges and forward and rearward roof opening edges have roof opening flanges extending substantially downwardly from the respective roof opening side edges and forward and rearward roof opening edges. A stationary roof panel permanently closes part of the roof opening, while a movable panel closes and opens a remainder of the roof opening. The stationary panel has panel edges extending along the roof opening side edges and along one of the forward and rearward roof opening edges and near to some of which downwardly extending panel brackets are provided which are attached to corresponding roof opening flanges.

  • Patent number: 7267390
    Abstract: A vehicle decklid system uses a planetary gear drive to move a decklid relative to a vehicle body. The planetary gear drive includes a rotatable gear that is disposed between two fixed gears. One fixed gear is rigidly mounted to the decklid and one fixed gear is rigidly mounted to the vehicle body. A rotating link connects centers of the rotatable gear and two fixed gears. The combination of the planetary gear drive and rotating link make it possible to provide powered complex, two-dimensional motion of the decklid requiring a four-bar linkage.

  • Patent number: 6824205
    Abstract: A movable panel assembly includes a panel movable between open and closed positions and also movable to a vented position. In the vented position a mesh member attached on one side to the panel and on another side to a guide or gutter structure extends to substantially cover the opening. The mesh member is flexible and collapses with the gutter guide assembly. The mesh member inhibits the intrusion of water into the passenger compartment and reduces wind noise.

  • Patent number: 6739648
    Abstract: A vehicle roof panel assembly comprises a vehicle roof panel and a track to receive the vehicle roof panel. The track has a track link and a track width. A guide is connected to the panel and slides on the track and has a portion that is selectively alterable between a first dimension and a second dimension less than the first dimension. A cable connected to the guide moves the vehicle panel along the track length and may actuate the guide portion between the first dimension and the second dimension. A drive unit is connected to the cable.
