Guide rail system for a moveable sunroof system including a sunshade and method of producing a guide rail system for a moveable sunroof system

A method of producing a guiding system for movable vehicular components comprising the steps of:

• producing a first guide rail from a first material;
• producing a second guide rail from a second material that is different from the first material wherein the first and second guide rails each comprise a single piece component;
• and
• directly connecting the first guide rail and the second guide rail with each other in a form-fitting manner in a horizontal and a vertical direction as viewed in a longitudinal direction defined by the first and second guide rails, wherein at least one protrusion is formed on one of the first guide rail and the second guide rail and engages in at least one recess in the other of the first guide rail and the second guide rail.

• producing a first guide rail from a first material;
• producing a second guide rail from a second material that is different from the first material;
• and
• directly connecting the first guide rail and the second guide rail with each other by relative longitudinal movement in a form-fitting manner in a horizontal and a vertical direction as viewed in a longitudinal direction defined by the first and second guide rails, wherein at least one protrusion is formed on one of the first guide rail and the second guide rail and engages the other of the first guide rail and the second guide rail wherein the engaging step further comprises bending the second guide rail.
