Panel pivots upwardly to vent mode and moves downward before sliding to fully open mode:

(under subclass 216) Subject matter wherein the movable means is mounted whereby one end thereof may swing vertically to a position above said covering means where it will cause that air to be deflected away therefrom which would normally freely flow into said passenger compartment as the vehicle is moved, and said movable means is additionally mounted to move below the level of the covering means and then be slidable to a position where it presents no opposition to the free flow of light or air into the passenger compartment from the atmosphere above.
