Embodiment Construction

[0039] FIG. 1 shows a motor vehicle roof according to one embodiment of the invention. For the sake of illustration, the roof lining 1 visible in FIG. 2 has been omitted here in order to show the roof support and in particular the frame 4 .

[0040] The vehicle roof comprises a transparent rear window 2 made of glass, which is attached from above along its upper and side edges to the second support surface 4 . 2 of the frame 4 . The metal frame 4 is coupled to the roof support 6 via two guide rods 6.1, 6.2, so that the frame moves from the storage position (not shown) into the closed position shown in the figure and thereby holds the rear window 2 Positioned in its final position, the frame is accommodated together with the rear window 2 in the roof box of the motor vehicle in the storage position.

[0041] Basically in the region of the frame 4 the windshield surround 3 surrounds the outer edge 2 . 1 of the rear window 2 . The edge of the roof lining 1 shown in FIG. 2 is in...

Furthermore, in order to increase the visibility, it is known to arrange a transparent rear window in the roof. [0003] In order to achieve both functions together, DE 100 29 472 B4 proposes a foldable motor vehicle roof with a U-shaped rear frame, which can be controlled by a roof link into a stowed position and a closed position. The roof lining is permanently or releasably fastened to the frame by means of adhesive connections, screw connections, butt welding or press-fit connections, and is thus tensioned and supported by the frame which is used as part of the roof rail. The rear window is likewise permanently or releasably faste...
