Abstract: The invention relates to a folding top for a cabriolet vehicle, comprising a first roof part (1) which is embodied as a rigid shell element, a second roof part (2) which is embodied as a rigid shell element, and a forced control unit (4). The first roof part (1) and the second roof part (2) are pivotable relative to a body (3) of the vehicle, are driven by a common force-introducing unit (5), and are movable by means of the forced control unit (4). The aim of the invention is to create a folding top in which the flexibility of the force-controlled movement of roof parts towards each other is improved. Said aim is achieved by providing the forced control unit (4) with a mechanical control device (6), by means of which movement of the second roof part (2) can be delayed from movement of the first roof part (1).

Abstract: A motor vehicle has a folding roof which can be opened and lowered into a rear storage space. Partitioning of the rear storage space into a folding-top space and a residual luggage space is provided by a separating arrangement which includes a dimensionally stable covering element that can be shifted vertically from a use position into a non-use position when the folding top is stored. The covering element extends over a rear sub-length of the separating arrangement and can be displaced forwards into the non-use position shortening the length of the separating arrangement.

Abstract: A convertible motor vehicle roof, especially for hatchbacks or pickups, with at least one roof part which is supported to move lengthwise on the side roof members and when the roof is being opened, can be moved into the storage position. The roof part or roof parts can be moved onto a roof unit or rear unit before lowering of the roof into a storage space. The storage space compactly accommodates the roof part or the roof parts arranged stacked therein so that due to the reduced space requirement, the possibilities for movement and storage for the movable and storable roof parts on the motor vehicle body are improved.

Abstract: An actuating device for a motor vehicle top and a top receptacle cover comprises an actuating lever and a displacement device. By way of the actuating lever which can be pivoted from the driver's seat, the top receptacle cover can be moved between a closed position and an open position and the top between a second operating position and a third operating position. To further improve such an actuating device so that with a simple construction it functions well, avoids errors in manipulation and is easily manipulated, the actuating lever is pivoted in a first direction such that the top receptacle cover is moved from a closed position into an opened position. Consequently, a first coupling element, which is in operative connection with the displacement device, takes up a receiving position in which a second coupling element provided on the top can engage the first coupling element when the top is in the second operating position. By renewed pivoting of the actuating lever in a second, reverse direction, the top receptacle cover and the top are moved downwardly together into the closed position and the third operating position by the engaged coupling.
