Open roof construction for a vehicle

An open roof construction for a vehicle comprises a roof opening in a stationary roof part of the vehicle and a roof panel which is movable along two stationary longitudinally extending parallel guides for selectively opening and closing said roof opening. The guides are positioned inwardly from the longitudinal outer edges of the roof opening and each are adapted for guiding a cable driven moving mechanism cooperating with the roof panel. Both moving mechanisms are interconnected by a brace and that said brace is driven in parallel to said guides by a single drive cable. Further stabilising members are provided for stabilising the roof panel in its open position
