Vehicle sliding roof prodn. - by mounting reinforcing frame on underside and gluing to lateral frame members

摘要

A vehicle roof with opening for a sliding panel is formed by first mounting a reinforcing frame on the underside, and glued along the sides to lateral roof-frame members. A continuous strip of glue is then applied to each member in the lengthwise direction, after which the roof skin with frame is lowered onto the bodywork, the skin and frame edges bearing against the glue strip and being pressed against it. ADVANTAGE - Simplicity and strength.
