Abstract
A multipart, telescopic shield for covering the lateral gap between the underside of a rigid sliding cover with which it is displaceable and the roof frame of a roof of a motor vehicle. The sliding cover has front and rear guide shoes which are guided on rails arranged laterally on the roof frame. In addition, the sliding cover has a water deflector which is displaceable therewith to underpin the rear edge gap between the cover and the fixed vehicle roof. The water deflector is also guided along the guide rail by guide shoes. The water deflector is connected to the cover by arms which are constructed as a shield.
