Runners

The opening of the roof to the completely open position makes it possible to raise the spoiler (1) which in this position suitably diverts the flow of air.

The spoiler is kept in the lowered position by the sunroof itself when it is closed or in the "quarterlight position, while it is raised by two reaction springs coupled with two shock dampers.

Any water that drips through the glass seal is suitably drained by gutters obtained on the three fixed sides of the frame and on the mobile rib; the gutters are connected to hoses (3) bu unions (2) set at the four corners of the frame.

The hoses drain at the front and rear through the engine compartment and boot drains respectively.

The inner sun blind (4) is connected to the frame by four spring fasteners (5); these fasteners act as pads for the running in the guide formed on the frame.

When the sunroof is closed the blind can be drawn by hand.

When the sunroof is opened to the "quarterlight" position, the blind is pulled by the mobile rib into the space between the body and the roof lining.
