Abstract

Roof system for a motor vehicle having a fixed roof cutout and having a movably mounted roof part for closing and opening the roof cutout which is displaceable by a tilt and guide mechanism between a closed position, a tilt position and an open position. The tilt and guide mechanism includes on both sides of the roof part in each case a front tilt lever and a rear tilt lever pivotably connected to the roof part by means of a pivot point and operatively connected to a control carriage movable in a guide rail arrangement. The roof part pivot points of the front and of the rear tilt lever are interconnected by an integral, dimensionally stable fastening profile extending along a side edge of the roof part and fastened on the side edge thereof.
