Abstract

A front connecting rod for a sunroof linkage, a sunroof linkage, and a sunroof assembly. The sunroof linkage is configured to drive front glass of a sunroof assembly to slide relative to rear glass, and the front connecting rod is configured to connect a glass-supporting rod of the sunroof linkage to a front slider. The front connecting rod may have an anti-turn-over structure, configured to be matched in shape to a sealing strip disposed on a peripheral edge of the rear glass, so as to prevent the sealing strip from turning over when the sunroof linkage drives the front glass to slide. The front connecting rod for a present sunroof linkage enables a sunroof to open to the maximum extent, and during sliding will not cause the sealing strip of the rear glass to be turned over and folded.

Claims (6)

the sunroof mechanical set being configured to drive a front glass of a sunroof assembly to slide relative to a rear glass, and

the front connecting rod being configured to connect a glass supporting rod of the sunroof mechanical set to a front slider,

wherein the front connecting rod comprises an anti-turnover structure configured to contact and match the shape of a sealing strip provided on a peripheral edge of the rear glass, so as to prevent the sealing strip from turning over when the sunroof mechanical set drives the front glass to slide.

2. The front connecting rod for a sunroof mechanical set according to claim 1 , wherein the anti-turnover structure is a concave portion formed on an edge of the front connecting rod facing the sealing strip.
