ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A folding roof assembly for fitting into a rectangular opening in the roof of a motor vehicle comprises a flexible cover anchored at its roar end to the rear end of a frame mounted in the opening. The cover is mounted for sliding movement on cross-members slidable in side rails extending longitudinally of the opening. The front cross-member has rookably mounted therein a plurality of lifting brackets spaced apart longitudinally of the front cross-member. A relatively rigid plate is mounted on the lifting brackets and the front end of the cover is secured to the relatively rigid plate. Forwardly projecting ends of the lifting brackets engage with a camming action against respective inclined surfaces on blocks secured at the front end of the opening so that when the cover is moved into a closed position, the rigid plate is urged downwardly by the camming action so as to tighten the cover and provide close sealing between the front end of the cover and the vehicle roof at the front end of the opening. A manually operable handle disposed on the underside of the front cross-member serves block the front cross-member in a position adjacent the front end of the opening to lock the cover in its closed position. Push rods engaging the side rails and operated through a camming action by handle can be used to lock the roof in a partly open condition.
