Shading arrangement for a vehicle having two shading units and method for mounting a shading arrangement

A method for mounting a shading arrangement at a roof of a vehicle, the shading arrangement comprising two shading units which are arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, wherein a first shading unit comprises a first shading web, at the sides, in relation to a vertical longitudinal center plane of the roof, either directly or indirectly being joined to a respective guide rail which extends in the longitudinal direction of the roof, and wherein the second shading unit a second shading element, at the sides, in relation to the vertical longitudinal center plane of the roof, including a respective guide rail which extends in the longitudinal direction of the roof, and, in the guide rails, one drive means, respectively, being joined to said second shading element, which drive means is rigid in compression, and which is arranged in the respective guide rail and engages a coupling tube, comprising the following steps:

• inserting the first shading unit into a first roof portion;
• inserting the second shading unit into a second roof portion, wherein the shading element of the second shading unit has at least partially been brought into a shading position and the coupling tubes are received by the guide rails of the second shading unit;
• and
• shifting the coupling tubes, such that the guide rails of the two shading units, which guide rails, in relation to a vertical longitudinal center plane, are arranged on both sides, are connected to one another via the respective coupling tube and that the respective drive means of the second shading unit, which drive means is rigid in compression, continuously moves (sinks) into the respective coupling tube.
