Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A roof assembly for a vehicle having an opening (1) in its roof part (2) comprises a frame (4) having at least a transverse beam (8, 9) and two substantially parallel longitudinal beams (7) connected to the opposite ends of the transverse beam. At least one pane (3) is able to close and at least partially open the opening (1). A drive system (5) for the panel supports and moves the panel and includes a drive motor (10) attached to the transverse beam, two substantially parallel guide rails (12) attached to the longitudinal beams (7), and a support mechanism (13) movably guided in the guide rails and operatively connected to the drive motor by elongated connecting members (11). The drive system forms a preassembled unit attached to the frame.The frame (4) and the drive system (5) are adapted to each other such that the drive system can be partly inserted into the frame between the longitudinal beams (7) and rotated such that the drive motor (10) is positioned on the lower side of the transverse beam (8, 9) of the frame and the guide rails (12) at least partly positioned on a portion of the upper side of the longitudinal beams (7) of the frame (4).There is also disclosed a method of assembling the roof assembly.
