Abstract
An assembly for moving a cover for a vehicle roof has —a guide rail which extends in a longitudinal direction, —a slotted-guide housing which has a slotted-guide portion that extends in an elongate manner in the longitudinal direction, wherein a locking slotted guide is formed in the slotted-guide portion, wherein the locking slotted guide has a helical shape, —a deployment element having a radially protruding locking protrusion which cooperates with the locking slotted guide in order to rotate the locking protrusion about the longitudinal direction during operation, wherein—the slotted-guide housing has a radially protruding region and the guide rail has a recess, and the protruding region is arranged in the recess in an assembled state.

An assembly for moving a cover for a vehicle roof, having:
- a guide rail which extends in a longitudinal direction,
- a slotted-guide housing which has a slotted-guide portion that extends in an elongate manner in the longitudinal direction, wherein a locking slotted guide is formed in the slotted-guide portion, wherein the locking slotted guide has a helical shape,
- a deployment element having a radially protruding locking protrusion which cooperates with the locking slotted guide in order to rotate the locking protrusion about the longitudinal direction during operation, wherein
- the slotted-guide housing has a radially protruding region and the guide rail has a recess, and the protruding region is arranged in the recess in an assembled state.
A method for assembling an assembly for moving a cover for a vehicle roof, comprising:
- providing a guide rail which extends in a longitudinal direction,
- providing a slotted-guide housing which has a slotted-guide portion that extends in an elongate manner in the longitudinal direction and has a radially protruding region,
- inserting the slotted-guide portion into the guide rail,
- rotating the slotted-guide housing about the longitudinal direction until the protruding region is arranged in a recess in the guide rail, and as a result
- locking the slotted-guide housing in place in the guide rail by means of the radially protruding region, at least in the longitudinal direction.
