Abstract: The flexible hood (1) is movable between an extended position in which it covers the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle and a folded non covering position in which it is housed in a compartment (9) of the motor vehicle covered by a rigid lid (8). The lid (8) has recesses (12) at each end of its front edge (11) for avoiding interference between the lid (8) and the framework (2) of the hood (1), when the latter is unfolded.The recesses (12) are provided with covering elements (13) movable between an extended position, assumed when the flexible hood (1) is folded in the compartment (9), and a retracted position assumed when the flexible hood is unfolded.

Abstract: The flexible roof is movable between an extended position in which it covers the passenger compartment and a folded position. It is provided with a pivoted framework comprising a main arched structure carrying anchoring pins and a rear arched member carrying catch devices which can engage the anchoring pins. Hooks are connected to the body of the motor-vehicle and engage the pins when the roof is extended so as to prevent the structure from pivoting. The hooks are released from the pins by the catch devices when the catch devices engage the pins so as to enable the structure and the arch to pivot freely together.
