COMPLETE OPENING

When the sunroof reaches the "compass" position the electric motor stops.

Pressing the switch again (press A), runner S1 frees pin (5) (position Y) and pulls runner S2 (Fig. 7b). The sunroof begins to move backwards, pushed by hinge D on runner S2.

The three runners S1, S2 and S3 move together and pin (2) of the pantograph C continues its trajectory (3) along the fixed cam E.

When pin (2) reaches the end of the cam, the rocker pin (1) engages in the corresponding slot of guide G (Fig. 7c). From this point, runner S3 and the pantograph C remain still, while runners S1 and S2 continue their movement up to the rear mechanical stopper pad (7) pulling the sunroof which slides on pad (4) up to the completely open position.

Runner S1 also pushes the rocker pin (6) into the corresponding slot on the outer guide G.

This pin has the same function as pin (1) which can no longer be engaged by runner S1, during the last part of its travel.
