The invention relates to a roof module for a vehicle, which can be mounted from above in an opening in the bodywork and which comprises a rigid outer shell (12), in addition to at least one electric functional unit (16), which is pre-installed on the underside of the outer shell by means of a support unit (14). The electric functional unit (16) can be displaced by means of said support unit (14) between a mounting position, in which the electric functional unit can be introduced into the bodywork opening and a functional position, in which at least part of the electric functional unit can be placed against a limit (22) of the bodywork opening. The invention also relates to a method for mounting a roof module of this type.
A roof module for a vehicle, which can be mounted from above in an opening in the bodywork and which comprises a hard outer shell and at least one electric functional unit which is pre-installed on the underside of the outer shell by means of a support unit, characterized in that the electric functional unit can be adjusted by means of the support unit between a mounted position in which the electric functional unit is fed through the opening in the bodywork and a functional position in which the electric functional unit can be placed at least partially against a boundary of the opening in the bodywork.
A method for mounting a roof module, wherein the electric functional unit is pre-installed on the underside of the outer shell and is placed in the mounted position by means of the support unit, and the roof module is mounted from above in the opening in the bodywork, wherein the electric functional unit is fed through the opening in the bodywork and the electric functional unit is moved by means of the support unit from the mounted position into the functional position in order to bear against the boundary of the opening in the bodywork.
