The upper trunk lid can be pivoted downward by an angle from, in each case, one closed position into, in each case, one open position. The lower trunk lid has at least one pivot lever, which is arranged such that it can be pivoted by way of a pivot axle formed on a lower body section. In the open position of the lower trunk lid, the pivot lever is in engagement with the lower body section.

  • Patent number: 4987671
    Abstract: A process for the mounting of a tiltable cover at a vehicle roof includes the steps of, after the fastening of the tilt-out device of the roof to the underside of the roof, fastening a front cover end, through a roof opening, to a surrounding body so that it can be swivelled around a transverse shaft. Before the cover is swivelled into a closed position, which closes the roof opening, a gauging arrangement is mounted in the rear on the cover or on the vehicle roof which has a stop which, in the closed position, limits the swivelling-in of the cover. In its closed position, the cover is connected with a vertically adjustable cross-strut of the tilt-out device. The gauging arrangement may be formed by a magnetic or adhesive strip which is mounted at the rear cover area and projects toward the rear, or by a ledge which is placed on the vehicle roof in transverse direction and has a wall section which is directed downward through the roof opening, a stop being constructed at this wall section.
