Problems solved by technology

Locating such a drive source in a dry area would solve the problem, but the operative coupling between such a drive source and the drive mechanism of the moving element would therefore have to pass through the seal
However, this would result in localized failure of the seal or would require rather complex technical measures to ensure penetration through the seal without adversely affecting the proper sealing function of the seal

Embodiment Construction

[0023] refer to Figure 1-3 , shows a first embodiment of an open roof construction for a vehicle according to the invention. It consists of a roof opening 1 in a fixed roof part 2 (in figure 1 in the forward direction of the vehicle pointing down). In the embodiment shown, the roof opening is substantially rectangular with opposing side edges 3 , 4 and opposing front and rear edges 5 , 6 . A seal (generally indicated at 7 ) extends along the roof opening 1 (and is therefore also generally rectangular in shape) and has opposing side seal portions 8 , 9 and opposing front and rear seal portions 10 , 11 .

[0024] The area inside the seal 7 is sometimes referred to as the dry area, while the area between the seal portion and the corresponding edge of the roof opening (eg, between the side edge 3 and the side seal portion 8) is called the dry area. For wet areas. In this wet area, a gutter 12 is usually provided, which extends along the roof opening 1 and connects the seal 7 ...

Abstract

An open roof construction for a vehicle comprises a roof opening in a stationary roof part and a seal extending along the roof opening and a panel movable between a closing and opening position for closing and opening, respectively, said roof opening. The panel comprises a first panel part which both in the closing and opening positions is positioned inside the seal, as seen in a top plan view, as well as a second panel part which both in the closing and opening positions is positioned outside the seal. The panel further comprises front and rear mechanisms for causing its movement, of which at least one mechanism is provided at the first panel part, wherein the open roof construction further comprises a movable element positioned outside the seal and having a drive mechanism. The second panel part is provided with at least one drive member which is operatively coupled to the drive mechanism of the movable element. The movable element may comprise a wind deflector.
