motor vehicle roof with a roof opening which can be closed by a cover that can slide and preferably be pivoted out . the underside of the cover is covered by a headlining , which , close to the cover front edge , is joined to the cover by at least one mounting device . the mounting device allows a height adjustment of the cover without affecting a flush - lifting of the headlining against a fixed roof frame bounding the roof opening . the mounting device includes an essentially vertical mounting pin and a catch clip that , by a relative movement in an essentially horizontal direction , can be brought to engage with each other . the catch clip in the engaged condition can be freely moved a limited distance with respect to the drive pin in the direction of the pin axis and can be freely tilted a limited angle with respect to the drive pin , as well as being swingable into a position permitting unobstructed upholstering of the headlining frame .
