  "textContent": "There is provided an open roof assembly for a vehicle, comprising a stationary roof (1), a roof opening (2) defined in said stationary roof (1) and a panel-shaped closure means (4) having, as seen in the direction of movement of the vehicle, at least a forward edge (5) and a rearward edge, said closure means (4) in the vicinity of at least one of its forward and rearward edges being connected to the stationary roof (1) by a connecting member in such a manner, that said edge is movable substantially perpendicularly to the stationary roof (1) for moving the closure means (4) from a closed position towards an open position and vice versa. The connecting member comprises a compression member (6) for generating a compression force, said compression member (6) having a first end connected to the stationary roof (1) and a second end connected to the closure means (4), such that the distance between both ends of the compression member (6) in the closed and open positions of the closure means (4) is larger, and thus the compression force less, than in an intermediate position of the closure means (4).",
