A rigid cover for a vehicle roof opening which includes a cover plate, a peripheral edge clearance sealing strip and a gap compensating element embedded in a plastic frame moulded around the circumference of the cover plate and supporting the sealing strip. The gap compensating element includes a deformation zone that can be permanently deformed in a transverse direction to increase a transverse dimension of the cover to fit the sealing strip against an edge of the roof opening. The outer edge area of the gap compensating element projects out of the plastic frame and has fixing elements for supporting the sealing strip on its outer edge. The gap compensating element can also be entirely embedded in a sealing strip attached to the plastics frame moulded onto the cover plate.

A rigid cover assembly for a vehicle roof opening which can be at least partly displaced out of the roof opening and which fills the roof opening when in a closed position comprising: a cover plate, a reinforcement frame supporting a lower peripheral edge of the cover plate, a unitary plastic frame circumferentially surrounding the cover plate, said plastic frame covering an upper peripheral edge of the cover plate and enclosing said reinforcement frame, a sealing strip extending around a periphery of said plastic frame, and a metal gap compensating element between the peripheral edge of said cover plate and said sealing strip, said metal gap compensating element having an inner edge section facing said peripheral edge of the cover plate and embedded in said plastic frame, a deformation zone responsive to applied pressure to permanently deform said metal gap compensating element by increasing a transverse dimension of said element and an outer edge projecting out of said plastic frame, said outer edge being shaped to form fixing elements for supporting said sealing strip on said gap compensating element and responsive to deformation of said deformation zone to move at least a portion of said sealing strip outwardly relative to said peripheral edge of said cover plate.
