A vehicle, in particular a motor-car, provided with a sliding roof assembly. This sliding roof assembly comprises a sliding panel which is mounted in a frame so as to be movable forward and backward, and which closes a ventilating opening in its forward position and releases this ventilating opening in its opened position, while a roof plate, fastened on the frame, forms a covered portion behind this ventilating opening underneath which the sliding panel extends at least partly when in its opened position. The assembly consisting of the frame, the sliding panel and the roof plate is inserted from above into a substantially rectangular opening in the vehicle roof and is connected on the vehicle roof by means of a peripheral supporting rim of this assembly. The upper side of this assembly is provided with a cover. The supporting rim of the assembly is at least substantially flat in the direction perpendicular to the adjacent edge of the opening in the vehicle roof. The cover of the assembly extends beyond the outer circumference of the peripheral supporting rim onto the roof of the vehicle.
