An openable motor vehicle roof is provided which includes a cover which in the closed position closes at least part of the roof opening, a cover-mounted cover carrier which is provided with a first crank path, and a slide which can be moved in the lengthwise direction of the roof by means of a drive in a first roof-mounted guide channel. The front area of the cover is movably guided in a second roof-mounted guide channel. a first engagement element, positioned on the raising lever, engages the first crank path and a second engagement element, attached to the raising lever, is movably guided in a third roof-mounted guide channel to control a raising motion of a raising lever. The rear edge of the cover can be raised out of the closed position by moving the slide by means of the raising lever. The first crank path is shaped such that when the raising lever is not raised, the displacement of the first engagement element in the first crank path causes a raising motion of the cover.
An openable motor vehicle roof, comprising at least one cover closing at least part of a roof opening in the closed position, a cover-mounted cover carrier provided with a first crank path, a slide movable in a lengthwise direction of the roof by means of a drive in a first roof-mounted guide channel, and a raising lever pivotally mounted on the slide, a front area of the cover being movably guided in a second roof-mounted guide channel in the lengthwise direction of the roof, wherein a first engagement element, positioned on the raising lever, engages the first crank path and a second engagement element, attached to the raising lever, is movably guided in a third roof-mounted guide channel in the lengthwise direction of the roof to control a raising motion of the raising lever, the cover being raised out of the closed position at its rear edge by moving the slide via the raising lever, the first crank path being shaped such that when the raising lever is not raised, the displacement of the first engagement element in the first crank path causes a raising motion of the cover.
The motor vehicle roof as in one of the preceding claims, wherein the second roof-mounted guide channel and the third roof-mounted guide channel are made essentially S-shaped in a respective starting area.
