A GUIDE ASSEMBLY FOR AN OPEN-ROOF SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE GUIDE ASSEMBLY

In a guide assembly for an open-roof system of a vehicle, a closure member is arranged to selectively cover or at least partly uncover an opening in a vehicle roof. The guide assembly comprises a guide extending in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle; a mounting element for mounting the closure member; a first support mechanism operatively coupled to the mounting element, wherein the first support mechanism slidably supports the mounting element in the guide; and a second support mechanism coupled to the guide and comprising a support element slidably supporting the mounting element, the second support mechanism being configured for moving the mounting element in a tilt direction to a tilted position, the tilt direction being substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The guide assembly is provided with releasing means for releasing the mounting element from at least one of the first support mechanism and the second support mechanism and for remounting the mounting element.
