Abstract: A folding top for a vehicle includes a folding top fabric for covering a vehicle interior in a closed position and opening up the vehicle interior in an open position. The folding top has an A pillar portion for mechanical connection to an A pillar of the vehicle, a C pillar portion for mechanical connection to a C pillar of the vehicle, a B pillar portion between the A pillar portion and the C pillar portion for lateral connection to a B pillar of the vehicle. A tensioning cable extends from the A pillar portion via the B pillar portion into the C pillar portion on each side of the folding top fabric in order to tension the folding top fabric in the closed position.

Abstract: A locking device for a buttress of a flying buttress hood of a vehicle, having a locking element for locking the buttress in a locking position and a display device for visually signaling the locking position. The display device has a display element which is coupled via a coupling element to the locking element and therefore a movement of the locking element into the locking position moves the display element via the coupling element into a first display position and, upon leaving the locking position, the locking element via the coupling element moves the display element from the first display position into at least one second display position.

Abstract: A vehicle component for a motor vehicle having a rear seat device with at least one headrest and having a wind deflector device with an extendable planar element for protecting front seats of the motor vehicle against relative wind. In an extended state, the planar element extends from a region behind the headrest to a region in front of the headrest. In this context, the headrest can be pivoted by a pivoting device from a position of use, in which the headrest projects beyond a height of the planar element in the extended state, into a position of rest. In the position of rest, the headrest is arranged under the extended planar element.

Abstract: An electric vehicle (1) has a charging flap (10) articulated on a support structure by way of a four-bar linkage arrangement (14) so that the charging flap (10) can be moved between a closed position (FIG. 3A) and an open position (FIG. 3F). To simplify the actuation of the charging flap, the mechanism for actuating the charging flap (10) has a push-push element (20) combined with a spring device (15) that is assigned to the four-bar linkage arrangement (14).

Abstract: A roof shell structure for a motor vehicle has a roof shell with an outer shell and an inner roof lining. A sound absorption element is integrated into the roof shell or into the roof shell structure. The sound absorption element is arranged between the outer shell and the inner roof lining in an opening in an inner shell.

Abstract: A wind deflector (10) for a vehicle has a fastening section (11) for mounting the wind deflector (10) releasably on a retainer (13) of an upper cowl (14) of the vehicle and an air-guiding section (12) for guiding the flow of air. A locking device (17) assigned to the fastening section (11) releasably locks the wind deflector (10) to the retainer (13) of the upper cowl. The locking device (17) has at least one shiftable anchor (18), an actuator (19) and a spring (20). The actuator (17) interacts with the anchor (18) so that, when the actuator (19) is not actuated, the spring (20) presses the anchor (18) into a locking position, and, when the actuator (19) is actuated, that actuator presses the anchor (18) into an unlocking position counter to a spring force of the spring (20).

Abstract: An emergency actuating tool for at least one equipment component which is specific to a vehicle with a movable roof arrangement, has at least one tool head for the equipment component, which tool head has an actuating element. For an alternative embodiment of the emergency actuating tool, it is provided that the emergency actuating tool has, moreover, at least one second tool head which has a second actuating element, that the emergency actuating tool is configured in multiple pieces, such that it can be assembled and at least partially dismantled, and that a third tool head with a third actuating element can be exposed by the dismantling of the emergency actuating tool.

Abstract: A roof arrangement (17) for a convertible (1) has a flexible convertible-top cloth (19) that can be removed by hand and stretched over a passenger compartment (16) between a cowl (9) and a rear end fastening device (18). A supporting bow (26) is beneath the convertible-top cloth (19) and is arranged in the transverse direction (FQ) of the convertible (1) at a distance behind the cowl (9). A tensioning device (32) keeps the convertible-top cloth (19) tensioned in relation to the cowl (9). The tensioning device (32) braces the convertible-top cloth (19) down adjacent to the supporting bow (26) and approximately in the vertical direction of the vehicle (FH) when the roof arrangement (17) is mounted on the convertible (1).
