A roof construction with a sliding roof module and at least one further roof module, wherein between the sliding roof module and the roof module a transverse strut is arranged, which is part of a vehicle body, wherein an edge portion of the sliding roof module and an edge of the roof module are connected with the transverse strut and between the two roof modules a water channel is formed.
2 . The roof construction according to claim 1 , characterized in that the two roof modules are bonded to the transverse strut.
3 . The roof construction according to claim 2 , characterized in that the further roof module is foam-clad with polyurethane (PU) at its edge associated to the transverse strut, wherein the polyurethane (PU) does not have a reinforcing element in the region of this edge.
4 . The roof construction according to claim 3 , characterized in that the further roof module is bonded directly to the transverse strut by means of its foam cladding.
5 . The roof construction according to claim 4 , characterized in that at one of the roof modules a sealing lip is provided, which rests against the other roof module.
6 . The roof construction according to claim 5 , characterized in that at the sliding roof module a sealing lip is provided, which rests against the further roof module.
7 . The roof construction according to claim 6 , characterized in that the transverse strut includes two bearing surfaces for the roof modules, wherein the bearing surface associated to the sliding roof module is arranged at a lower level than the bearing surface associated to the further roof module.
8 . The roof construction according to claim 7 , characterized in that the transverse strut is designed as box section which is composed of four individual segments which provide the transverse strut with a high rigidity in z-direction.
9 . The roof construction according to claim 8 , characterized in that the transverse strut is provided with a lead-through for a cable which leads to a drive of a shading system which is arranged below the further roof element.
10 . The roof construction according to claim 9 , characterized in that the transverse strut is provided with a clipped guide tube through which an actuating element for a shading system extends, which is arranged below the further roof element.
11 . The roof construction according to claim 10 , characterized in that a rear swing-out mechanism of the sliding roof module is mounted at the transverse strut.
12 . The roof construction according to claim 11 , characterized in that the transverse strut each is provided with a gusset plate at its lateral ends.
13 . The roof construction according to claim 12 , characterized in that a rear swing-out mechanism of the sliding roof module is mounted at the gusset plate.
14 . The roof construction according to claim 13 , characterized in that the rear swing-out mechanism includes a swing-out lever which is pivotally mounted at a vehicle-fixed abutment which is connected with the gusset plate.
15 . The roof construction according to claim 14 , characterized in that the transverse strut is provided with welding lugs which are welded to the roof construction of the bodyshell.
16 . The roof construction according to claim 1 , characterized in that the transverse strut includes two bearing surfaces for the roof modules, wherein the bearing surface associated to the sliding roof module is arranged at a lower level than the bearing surface associated to the further roof module.
17 . The roof construction according to claim 1 , characterized in that the transverse strut is provided with a lead-through for a cable which leads to a drive of a shading system which is arranged below the further roof element.
18 . The roof construction according to claim 1 , characterized in that a rear swing-out mechanism of the sliding roof module is mounted at the transverse strut.
19 . The roof construction according to claim 1 , characterized in that a rear swing-out mechanism of the sliding roof module is mounted at the gusset plate.
20 . The roof construction according to claim 1 , characterized in that the further roof module is foam-clad with polyurethane (PU) at its edge associated to the transverse strut, wherein the polyurethane (PU) does not have a reinforcing element in the region of this edge further characterized in that the further roof module is bonded directly to the transverse strut by means of its foam cladding.
