Open roof construction for a vehicle

An open roof construction for a vehicle having an opening in the fixed roof, comprising:

• stationary longitudinal guide rails disposed on either side of the roof opening;
• a closure member;
• a pair of slides, each slide slidable on one of the longitudinal guide rails, where each of the slides include an operating mechanism supporting the closure member so as to be adjustable between a closed position, in which the closure member closes the roof opening, and an open position, in which the closure member releases the roof opening at least partially, wherein each operating mechanism comprises a curve plate attached to the closure member and having a first guide track with which a first guide member connected to the slide is in engagement, at least along part of the path of movement of the closure member, wherein each slide includes a height-adjustable part which is equipped with the first guide member, and is also equipped with a second guide member which is in engagement with a second guide track which is at least partially inclined vertically, said second guide track being provided at a curve part which is connected to the longitudinal guide rail, wherein the first and second guide tracks are positioned relatively such that they have a common vertical longitudinal plane extending therethrough, and the first and second guide tracks being selectively movable with respect to each other in a direction parallel to the longitudinal guide rails to enable the first and second guide tracks to overlap in height direction without crossing each other.
