Abstract: A top for a convertible has a top linkage forming a lateral roof frame at each side, and a flexible covering which is stretched open when the top is closed and covers at least parts of the top. When the top is closed, a seal is disposed between a stiffened region of the stretched-open covering, which region faces the associated lateral roof frame, and the associated lateral roof frame.

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 movable vehicle roof has a plurality of segments which are movable relative to one another, in particular are displaceable and/or pivotable, and of which at least one has a core containing a filling structure forming cavities. The filling structure core is provided with a retaining part which engages around it in some regions at least on one side and, together with lateral elements disposed on it as a single piece, forms at least one intersecting point with the top framework.

Abstract: A flexible vehicle roof has a flexible roof skin and a plurality of supporting elements that interact with the roof skin. The supporting elements are configured at least partially in some regions as sheet-like surface elements that support the roof skin. The supporting elements can be shifted together with the roof skin from a closed position into an open position opening up the vehicle interior, with it being possible for a plurality of the surface elements to be brought into overlap at least in some regions. In the open position, a front surface element forming the roof lug is disposed above a rear element surrounding a rear window, and a third surface element which, in the closed position, is disposed between the front and the rear elements can be displaced during the opening phase in a positively coupled manner into a packing position located below the rear element.

Abstract: A top for a convertible has a linkage with which a plurality of roof sections can be displaced between a closed position and an open position. The rearmost roof section is configured as a rear window frame, and the linkage has a control link which is mounted pivotally on a bracket which can be fastened or is fastened to the vehicle. The linkage has a clamping hoop and a coupling linkage for controlling the kinematics of the rear window frame, said coupling linkage having a front coupling link and a rear coupling link which are mounted pivotally on the clamping hoop and on the rear window frame. In order to stabilize the top in its end positions, for the rear coupling link, there is formed on the clamping hoop a front stop against which the rear coupling link bears when the top is closed, and a rear stop against which the rear coupling link bears when the top is open.

Abstract: A top for a convertible, which has a rear window frame with a rear window and, in the closed state, at least one roof section situated in front of the rear window frame in the direction of travel. When there are two roof sections which are adjacent to each other when the top is closed, a respective extension, which is extended to the rear or front, is formed on the lateral border regions of one of the roof sections. The extension being configured as a seal carrier.

Abstract: A roller-blind device for a motor vehicle has a first flexible flat structure and a second flexible flat structure that are attached to a rotatable roller-blind axis and situated so that they are rollable onto and unrollable from the roller-blind axis in different directions (22, 24; 33, 34). The roller blind device can be incorporated in a wind deflector.

Abstract: A motor vehicle wind deflector contains a stretching bow mounted to be pivotable around a first fixed pivot axis running transversely to the vehicle. A flexible flat structure which is rollable onto and unrollable from a rolling axis parallel to stretching bow axis is attached to the stretching bow to which a roof arch is also connected. The roof arch is mounted to be pivotable around a second fixed pivot axis extending transversely to the vehicle, which second axis is spaced in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle from the first pivot axis. The stretching bow is connected via a movable coupling mechanism to the roof arch.

Abstract: A motor vehicle has a riif which can be adjusted between an opened and a closed position, and which has a roof skin. A rollover protection element can be moved out from an inoperative position into a protection position. For improved rollover protection, when the roof is in the closed position, the rollover protection element projects over the roof skin in the protection position.

Abstract: The invention proceeds from a roof system for a motor vehicle, in particular a passenger car, with rigid cover elements (23, 24), which are arranged, seen in the direction of travel (Fr), in tandem in a roof opening (19) of the motor vehicle and which close all of the roof openings (19) in a home position (R1, R2), whereby for at least partial release of a front partial opening (20) the front cover element (23) can be displaced with the rear cover element (24) in overlapping position (U1); and for at least partial release of a rear partial opening (21) of the roof opening (19) the rear cover element (24) can be moved with the front cover element (23) in overlapping position (U2).

Abstract: A top storage compartment lid for a motor vehicle is associated with a rear receiving area for accommodating a stored top, and can be moved by means of a drive device from a closed position into a raised open position. The top storage compartment lid can be secured in the closed position by means of at least one releasable locking device on the fixed body. The drive device for the positioning movement of the top storage compartment lid is mechanically coupled with the locking device, and thus serves for both locking and unlocking the top storage compartment lid.

Abstract: A motor vehicle having a retractable roof having at least one roof part arranged over the occupants and a rear part having a rear window. The roof is movable from a closed position covering the occupant compartment into a rear-side deposited position in which the rear part and the roof part are received in a rear-side receiving space closed by a swivellable lid. The retractable roof construction, in the rear-side deposited position, requires less space and, can be used in additional intermediate positions. The rear part is composed of a center part having the rear window and of two side parts, the center part being slidable into the roof part situated in front of it and, together with it, being displaceable in the rear-side receiving space when the lid is open.

Abstract: A driving device for a folding top and/or a folding top compartment lid of a motor vehicle comprises an adjusting linkage and a driving motor. For compensating relatively large tolerances and concept-caused compensating lifts, the adjusting linkage has an adjusting element which, on one end, has a tolerance compensating element. A spring-supported and length-compensating tension/compression element is arranged on the other end of the adjusting element.

Abstract: A folding top for vehicles includes a folding top structure and a folding top covering, an edge area of the folding top covering being fastened on a rear-side tensioning bow of the folding top structure and a sealing body being held in position which is in an operative connection with an adjoining vehicle body part. In order to achieve a simple mounting of the folding top covering and of the sealing body on the tensioning bow during the first assembly and in the case of repair, it is provided that separate receiving devices for fastening the folding top covering and for holding the sealing body are arranged on the tensioning bow.
