The frame holding the glass panel (2) is fixed to the positioning brackets (4) commanded by the movement of the runners (5) along the rails (3 e 6). The flexible racks (1), commanded by the electric motor form a single unit with the runners (5) and establish the movement. The coupling between the runners (5) and the brackets (4) permits both opening and closing actions through the sliding of the glass panel and the opening to the quarterlight position.

The bracket (4) is also connected to the mobile water run-off channel (7) which follows the movement of the roof when opening or closing.

The sunroof is fitted with an inner blind which can be moved manually to screen the occupants of the vehicle from direct sunlight.

Mechanical components: flexible rack 1, frame for glass panel 2, front rail 3, sliding brackets 4, runner 5, rear rail 6, water collection channel 7
