Embodiment Construction

[0013] figure 1 Shown is a roof assembly 10, on which a roof opening system is assembled, the assembly is placed above and connected to a vehicle frame 12, the motor vehicle roof assembly is provided with an opening through which a liftable A raised, movable lid 14 is selectively opened, and the lid 14 is a part of the roof opening system.

[0014] The roof assembly 10 preferably comprises a thermoplastic film ( figure 2 ), which forms the skin 16 of the assembly, and the skin of the motor vehicle in the roof region. The skin 16 is plastically deformed by means of deep drawing, preferably completely painted, so that the motor vehicle roof component does not have to be repainted and has a finished surface.

[0015] The skin 16 is provided with a foam backing. The foam backing is referenced at 18 and is made of PUR material and reinforced with fiberglass 20 . This method of producing foam coverings is also known as the LFI method (Long Fiber Injection method).

Abstract

The motor vehicle roof panel has an exterior skin under which is a foam backing. The foam layer has a thin perforated metal panel embedded in the foam. The metal panel has a surface extending over at least ninety percent of the area of the exterior skin. The metal panel can extend from the edges of the roof panel.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a roof assembly for a motor vehicle comprising a skin and a layer of foam material on the rear side of the skin as a foam lining. Background technique [0002] Instead of a sheet metal roof cover welded to or integrally formed with the roof frame, today's motor vehicle roofs are increasingly made of a roof permanently and rigidly fixed to it by a manufacturer's The roof frame of the production roof assembly is made. The term "permanently and rigidly fixed" does not mean to exclude the option of removing the roof assembly from the frame at the factory for replacement purposes, to replace it with a new roof assembly, and to permanently attach it , Rigidly fixed on the roof frame. Here, the roof module is usually made of plastic and comprises a skin such as an aluminum foil or a plastic film on which a foam lining is applied. This type of motor vehicle roof assembly can be configured with or without a roof opening system. With...
