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: A drive system including a support bar to which the roof part is fastened, wherein the support bar during operation of the drive system is displaced between a closed position of the roof part and an open position of the roof part. For the displacement of the support bar between the closed position and the open position, a front guide carriage, a rear tilting mechanism as well as a control carriage mechanically controlling the guide carriage and the tilting mechanism are provided. The guide carriage and the control carriage are geometrically designed such that the guide carriage and the control carriage are able to be positioned and displaced inside the guide rail overlapping one another in parallel in the transverse direction of the vehicle.
