TILTED PANEL TOUCHING ROOF RAILS FOR BETTER AEROACOUSTICS

An open roof system for a vehicle comprising a fixed roof having a roof opening, comprises a semi-transparent panel for closing and at least partly opening said roof opening. A stationary frame may be fixedly attached to the fixed roof. At least one mechanism is provided between the panel and the stationary frame for moving the panel. A roof member protrudes from the fixed roof in an upward direction, the roof member being attached at least partly to the fixed roof. The panel comprises a seal connected at least along the front edge and both lateral side edges of the panel. [0002] The seal is in an air tight engagement with at least a part of a first edge of the roof member in a tilt-position of the panel in which the roof opening is partly open, such that aero-acoustic noises are at least reduced in said tilt-position of the panel.
