Sunshade assembly for use in an open roof construction and open roof construction provided with such a sunshade assembly

摘要

A sunshade assembly for use in an open roof construction for a vehicle includes a flexible sunshade screen that, with its one end, can be wound on or off a spring-loaded winding cylinder and with its other end having a transversally extending pulling beam. The sunshade assembly further includes two spaced, longitudinally extending guides each defining a guiding channel for receiving and guiding two opposite lateral ends of the pulling beam and for defining a guiding plane in which the sunshade screen extends. Both guides are provided with at least partially flexible members extending along a length of the guides and protruding towards the guiding plane for engagement with the pulling beam. The guiding channels further receive and guide two parallel lateral edges of the sunshade screen. Each at least partially flexible member has a main body with substantially U-shaped cross-section having two legs engaging a plate-shaped part of a corresponding guide at opposite sides. Attached to said main body there is provided a flexible lip protruding towards said guiding plane to engage the pulling beam and hold it in a desired position.
