  • Publication number: 20080061593
    Abstract: A top for a convertible has a rear window frame, at least one roof section placed in front of it in the direction of travel when the top is closed, and a lateral top linkage. When the top is closed, a further roof section which is connected to the top linkage in an articulated manner and can be driven by the latter is provided between a front roof section and the rear window frame.

  • Publication number: 20080061582
    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.

  • Publication number: 20080061590
    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.

  • Publication number: 20080061584
    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.

  • Publication number: 20080061587
    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.

  • Publication number: 20080023155
    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.

  • Publication number: 20080023984
    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.

  • Publication number: 20060131862
    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.
