Each lever has a guide rail side end and a cover side end, and the levers are pivotally coupled with each other through a joining axle. During traversing movement, the carriage exerts a vertical force on the joining axle and lifts the joining axle, in order to thereby move the pair of levers to a raised position. The invention further relates to a vehicle roof with such a raising mechanism.
