Closing the roof

Closing the roof

The roof is closed by the forward motion of the runner S maintaining the position illustrated in positions c and b until the runner support P reaches the stop limit (7) in the guide G. At this point the front part of the bracket M is locked but the runner S continues its movement allowing the pin (4) to come out of the groove (3) through space (5). Pin (2) is forced to move along the groove in the bracket M from position "Y" to position "X" thus raising the glass panel so that it is flush with the outer roof panel. At this point the microswitch disengages the electric motor as the closed position has now been reached (position d).
