Vehicle roof

The invention relates to a vehicle roof with at least one cover that can be opened out at its rear edge and displaced, with a control mechanism for the cover that has a rear lifting and displacement mechanism (31) hinged to the cover near its rear edge, which comprises at least one control slide connected to the cover that is guided displaceably in lateral guide rails (17) and is driven. To increase the opening security of the cover, it is provided that a movable part (31) of the lifting and displacement mechanism (31) and a part (34) connected to the cover each have locking elements (48 and 49) that are effective in the closed position of the cover and that counteract opening of the cover upwards.
