主权项

1. A sunroof apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:
a movable panel configured to open and close an opening formed at a roof of a vehicle; a guide rail provided at each edge portion of the opening in a vehicle width direction and being extended in a front-rear direction of the vehicle; a support bracket provided at each edge portion of the movable panel in the vehicle width direction; a first sliding member connected to the support bracket to be movable along the guide rail, the first sliding member being driven to move by a drive source; a second sliding member provided to be movable along the guide rail and connected to the support bracket at an opposite side in the vehicle width direction from a side at which the first sliding member is provided, the second sliding member integrally moving with the movable panel in a state where a tilt operation of the movable panel is allowed; a check mechanism restricting a movement of the movable panel in the front-rear direction in a case where the first sliding member moves in a front direction of the vehicle in a fully closed state of the movable panel to bring the movable panel to a tilt-up state, the check mechanism releasing the restriction of the movement of the movable panel in the front-rear direction while maintaining the tilt-up state of the movable panel in a case where the first sliding member moves in the rear direction after moving further in the front direction in the tilt-up state of the movable panel; an engagement and disengagement switching mechanism including a first member supported by one of the first sliding member and the second sliding member and a second member supported by the other of the first sliding member and the second sliding member, the engagement and disengagement switching mechanism bringing the first member and the second member to engage with each other by a pressing effect between the first member and the second member so that the second sliding member moves integrally with the first sliding member in a case where the first sliding member moves in the rear direction after moving further in the front direction in the tilt-up state of the movable panel; a holding portion provided at the first sliding member; and a retention portion provided at the second sliding member and held to be non-movable in the vehicle width direction by the holding portion in a case where the first member and the second member are engaged with each other.
