Open roof construction for a vehicle

An open roof construction comprises guide rails (5) and slidable slides (6) with operating mechanisms. A roof panel (4) is supported by the operating mechanisms. Each operating mechanism comprises a curve plate (11) attached to the panel and has a first guide track (10) with which a first guide member (9) connected to the slide is in engagement. The slide (6) includes a height-adjustable part (7) which is equipped with the first guide member (9), and which is also equipped with a second guide member which is in engagement with a second guide track (16) having a vertical component. The second guide track is provided at a curve part (13) fixed to the slide (6) which is sliding in the guide rail (5). The first and second guide tracks (10,16) have a common vertical longitudinal plane extending there through, and are selectively movable with respect to each other parallel to guide rails (5) to enable the first and second guide tracks to overlap in height direction without crossing each other.
