SLIDING SUPPORT ARRANGEMENT AND ROOF ASSEMBLY FOR A VEHICLE

A sliding support arrangement (11) for supporting a slidable element (8; 21) in a closure (4) of a roof assembly for a vehicle, comprising at least a guide rail (7) extending substantially in an X-direction. The slidable element carries a slide shoe (16) engaging the guide rail and supporting the slidable element at least in Z-direction perpendicular to the X- and a Y-direction. The slide shoe includes a first part (16a) fixed to the slidable element and a relatively movable second part (16b). The second part is supported by the first part mainly through a spring (18) urging the slide shoe parts in engagement with walls (12 - 15) of the guide rail. The spring exerts a force which is directed at an non-perpendicular angle to at least one wall of the guide rail.
