Abstract:
1. A sunshade assembly comprising: a sunscreen made of a flexible material, having upper and lower sides, opposed longitudinal edges and opposed transversal edges; a separate guide strip attached to the sunscreen proximate each of the longitudinal edges, each guide strip being substantially rigid in a transverse direction to the longitudinal edges; and opposed elongated longitudinal guide rails each including a guide channel section defining a guide channel in which the respective guide strip is accommodated when the sunscreen is moved between open and closed positions, the guide channel of each guide rail being bounded on a side facing the opposed guide rail by a guide flange supporting the guide strip in a direction towards the opposed guide rail, wherein a part of the guide channel section of at least one guide rail is resilient such that at least a portion of the guide flange supporting the guide strip is resiliently yieldable in a direction towards the opposed guide rail under the influence of forces exerted by the sunscreen, and wherein the guide channel section further comprises a stationary guide channel portion having a convex surface and wherein the guide strip is supported in the guide channel on a first side by the guide flange and an opposite side by the convex surface of the stationary guide channel portion.
