Even if the device is damaged, the repair cost is more cost-effective than directly replacing the entire sunroof glass, protecting the interests of the driver;

[0015] 2. By concentrating all components on the bracket, choosing to lower it from the top of the car body for installation, and fixing it to the top of the car frame through the fixing plates on both sides, the sunroof glass can be firmly integrated with the car body, thereby improving the torsional stiffness and modality of the sunroof glass itself.

[0016] 3. The structure of the entire sunroof glass is strengthened by the crossbeam set in the middle of the bracket. At the same time, the side air curtain set on the inner wall of the bracket can instantly activate the airbag inside the side air curtain and cover the roof from the inside when the car body is impacted from the side or top, preventing the fragments of the sunroof glass from splashing and causing damage to the people and equipment in the car, thereby further ensuring safety.
