An open roof construction or assembly for a vehicle having an opening in its fixed roof comprises a stationary part to be fixed to the roof. An upper closure element supported by said stationary part is adjustable between a closed position, in which it closes the roof opening, and an open position, in which it releases the roof opening at least partially. A slidable lower closure element supported by said stationary part can move forward and backward, to which end it is slidably guided in guide rails at its edges or outer portions. The lower closure element includes hook members as engaging elements at said edges, which engage in the associated guide rails and which run substantially clear of the guide rails during normal operation of the open roof construction. The engaging elements will move into engagement with the guide rails when an excessive, upward load is exerted on the lower closure element, so as to retain said lower closure element in its correct position. In this way there is provided additional protection against the sun screen being forced out.
