SUNROOF TRACKING MODULE AND VEHICLE SUNROOF INCORPORATING THE SAME

摘要

A motor vehicle sunroof tracking module used in association with a sunroof unit as installed on motor vehicles is disclosed. Unlike existing sunroof tracking modules which are constructed from numerous parts and components, the module of this invention can be constructed from two components, preferably injection molded utilizing a plastic material, and which are joined together to provide a single module. Each of the two components is generally "U" shaped in plan view which are joined together in mating clam shell relation. Each of the components, on their respective mating services have a pair of spaced apart concave longitudinal grooves providing a pair of cable receiving channels extending along both the web portion and the two leg portions of the "U" shaped module. The module is also provided with an upwardly facing longitudinal slide track extending along a major portion of the length of each of the legs of the U and which captively permit slide members positioned therein to move therealong and to cause a panel member attached to the slide members to move from one to the other of an opened and a closed position.
