Abstract: A rear air-guiding device (20) for a fastback motor vehicle (10) is arranged in the region of a roof rear edge (15) above a rear window (13) and includes an air-guiding element (22) that is movable from a rest position (30) into at least one operational position (31; 32). The rear air-guiding device has a gap sealing device that seals off a gap between a leading edge of the air-guiding element (22) and a body surface when the air-guiding device (20) is in the operational position (31; 32) and around which air would flow during driving.

Abstract: A rear spoiler for a motor vehicle has a spoiler body (14) for deflecting a stream of air to provide an aerodynamic effect. The spoiler body (14) has a main spoiler (16) with a main surface (21) and an auxiliary spoiler (18) with an auxiliary surface (62). A multi-jointed actuating kinematics (34) can move the main spoiler (16) and the auxiliary spoiler (18) between a storage position where the auxiliary surface (62) of the auxiliary spoiler (18) is at least partially below the main spoiler (16) and a use position where the auxiliary spoiler (18) is substantially in a common plane with the main surface (21).

Abstract: A rear region of a vehicle has an air-guiding device (10) with a mounting element (11) for the air-guiding device on the vehicle, and with at least one air-guiding element (13) that is shiftable between a retracted inoperative position and an extended operating position. A gap (14) is formed between the air-guiding element (13) and the mounting element (11) when the air guiding device (10) is in the extended operating position. However, the gap (14) can be closed via a closure device (15). The closure device (15) has a multi-layered, flexible sheetlike structure (16) with at least one front outer, flexible layer (17) and a rear outer, flexible layer (18). In the extended operating position, the front outer layer (17) can be stretched with the aid of a stiff clamping element (19) and the rear outer layer (19) can be stretched with the aid of a flexible clamping element (20).

Abstract: An air-guiding device (12) is arranged in a rear-end region of a vehicle and has a central main air-guiding element (13) that is displaceable from a retracted rest position into a deployed operating position. Lateral auxiliary air-guiding elements (14, 15) are adjustable substantially linearly relative to the main air-guiding element (13) in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle to be transferred from a rest position, in which they are retracted into the main air-guiding element (13), into an operating position, in which they are deployed out of the main air-guiding element (13). Each auxiliary air-guiding element is movable along a guide unit (22) in the main air-guiding element (13) and is guided in the guide unit (22) in a first direction by at least one slide element (26) and in a second direction by at least one guide pin (27).

Abstract: A convertible vehicle has a convertible top which can be moved between a closed convertible top position and an opened convertible top position and which is extended in its closed convertible top position over a convertible top frame with a convertible top linkage. A storm linkage is coupled in an articulated fashion, by a supporting device for supporting the closed convertible top, between the convertible top linkage and a tensioning bar which is arranged at the rear. In order to improve the support of the storm linkage in the convertible vehicle, the supporting device has a locking connecting rod with a roller which interacts with the storm linkage.

Abstract: A convertible has at least one rollover protective structure, in particular a roll bar, which is extendable through an opening which is closable by a covering. In order to further optimize the opening movement of the covering during the extension of the rollover protective structure of the convertible, the covering is attached to a bodywork part with the aid of a multi-bar linkage which controls the opening movement of the covering.

Abstract: A motor vehicle has at least one vehicle seat (3) and a trim part (1) that extends in the vehicle transverse direction (FQ) behind the vehicle seat (3). A cross member (2) is arranged below and/or behind the trim part (1). The trim part (1) carries a protective element (11) on an end face (6) of the trim part (1) that faces the vehicle seat (3) to protect the trim part (1) from damage caused by contact with the vehicle seat (3).

Abstract: A stowable roof configuration for a convertible has a main link with at least two arms and is able to move about a main bearing and, a main roof element, which is connected to the main link by first joints. At least one additional roof element is disposed behind the main roof element in a closed position of the roof configuration and is connected to the main link by or in second joints. A connecting rod system is provided for connecting to the additional roof element. The connecting rod system and the additional roof element along with the main link form an at least five-member coupler mechanism, in which the second joints for the additional roof element lie between the main bearing and the first joints.

Abstract: A convertible has a top which can be opened and can be put away and which has a rear window frame and, when the top is closed, at least one surface bow situated in front of said rear window frame in the direction of travel. A coupling linkage for carrying out a relative movement of the surface bow with respect to the rear window frame is arranged between the rear window frame and the surface bow. It is essential for the invention that at least two surface bows which are situated in front of the rear window frame in the direction of travel are provided, which surface bows, when the top is closed, form a continuous roof contour together with the rear window frame. Furthermore, the coupling linkage is designed in such a manner that, at the beginning of the opening of the top, the second surface bow can be moved downward relative to the adjacent first surface bow and relative to the rear window frame out of the roof contour.

Abstract: A vehicle roof has at least two roof segments which, in the closed position of the roof, support a flexible roof skin at least in some regions and can be shifted via at least two pairs of links in a positively controlled manner from a closed position G of the top into a fixed storage position A of the top and vice-versa. One pair of links is thereby drivable by motor in order to move all of the roof parts. In the storage position A of the top, the driven pair of links can be supported by a first vehicle-body-side stop on each side of the vehicle in order to fix all of the roof parts with defined distances being maintained at least between the at least two pairs of links.

Abstract: A motor vehicle roof configuration which can be put away has at least two shaping sections, which are movable relative to one another and can be put away together, for lateral convertible top cloth strips. The shaping sections lie in a row next to one another in a closed position of the roof configuration and have water channels which run approximately parallel to each convertible top cloth strip and in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and also adjacent to the convertible top cloth strips. It is provided that, at least in a closed position of the roof configuration, an inner edge of each convertible top cloth strip together with at least one sealing configuration forms a leakproof covering for the adjacent water channel.

Abstract: A top drive for a flexible vehicle roof which can be transferred from a closed position into a storage position and vice versa. At least one roof link is movable via a linear drive, the roof link and a fixed end of the linear drive being fastened to a main bearing of the top, wherein an actuating end of the linear drive is fastened pivotably to a throw-over lever which is fastened to the main bearing of the top and at the free end of which there is arranged a drive connecting rod which is fastened at a first end in an articulated manner to the free end of the throw-over lever and at a second end in an articulated manner to a section of the roof link, which section is spaced apart from the pivot point on the main bearing of the top, as a result of which a driving movement of the linear drive can be transmitted to the roof link.
