VEHICLE SUNROOF DEVICE
DRIVE
March 7, 2012
A vehicle sunroof device includes a movable panel, guide rails, rear slide members, an electrical drive source, and check mechanisms. When the rear slide members are moved toward the front of the vehicle along the guide rails when the movable panel is in a totally closed state, the movable panel is changed to a tilt-up state. Check release mechanisms provided to the rear slide members are changed to an engaged state when the rear slide members are further moved toward the front of the vehicle with the movable panel in the tilt-up state and without involving operation of the movable panel. In the engaged state, when the rear slide members are moved toward the rear of the vehicle afterward, the check release mechanisms move the entire check mechanisms while switching the check mechanisms to a movable state. In the engaged state of the check release mechanisms, when the rear slide members are further moved toward the front of the vehicle without involving operation of the movable panel, the check release mechanisms are switched to an engagement released state in which the check release mechanisms are released from the check mechanisms
