Abstract: A vehicle roof of a convertible with at least one front roof part, a rear roof part that is movable between a closed position over the vehicle interior and an open position in which it is stowed in a rear stowage space, and a rear window which is pivotably supported on the rear roof part. In the open position in the stowage space, the window is raised relative to the rear roof part. For improved actuation of the rear window, a holding mechanism keeps the rear window in its closed position on the rear roof part and when the rear roof part is being stowed, releases the rear window to swing relative to the rear roof part. A support is located in the stowage space and supports the rear window while the rear roof part is lowered into its stowage position.

Abstract: A Lowerable motor vehicle roof, with at least one openable front roof part (13) which is movably supported lengthwise on side roof members (8), and a rear roof part or rear element (7) which can be moved into the storage position in the body. The at least one front roof part (13) is located first in a storage space in the body (1) or on part of the roof (5) when the roof (5) is being lowered, and then the roof (5) is lowered into its storage position.

Abstract: A convertible motor vehicle roof, especially for hatchbacks or pickups, with at least one roof part which is supported to move lengthwise on the side roof members and when the roof is being opened, can be moved into the storage position. The roof part or roof parts can be moved onto a roof unit or rear unit before lowering of the roof into a storage space. The storage space compactly accommodates the roof part or the roof parts arranged stacked therein so that due to the reduced space requirement, the possibilities for movement and storage for the movable and storable roof parts on the motor vehicle body are improved.

Abstract: A drive for a displaceable motor vehicle part which comprises at least one drive cable (22, 24) and a driven output pinion (12). The output pinion (12) drives a drive unit (14, 16; 114, 115, 116, 117) which engages the drive cable or cables (22, 24) at least at two points in order to drive it or them.

Abstract: A lowerable roof (1) of a hard-top convertible (2) with a front roof element (3), a middle roof element (4) and a rear roof element (5) which can all be moved out of a closed position which covers the motor vehicle interior (6) by a bearing mechanism into an open position in which they are deposited on top of one another in a rear-side convertible top storage compartment (9). The front roof element (3) is movably supported on the middle roof element (4), and the front roof element (3) can be lowered or raised by a carrier mechanism (17) which supports the front roof element (3) on the middle roof element (3) when the roof (1) is being moved to over or under the middle part (4) by a lengthwise guide (29).

Abstract: A covering device for a convertible-top compartment of a motor vehicle and includes a cover section that, in a forward position, covers a front area of the convertible-top compartment.

The latch hook (5) is movably supported either on the free end (2) of the folding roof (1) or on the apron (3) and it can be latched on the apron (3) or the roof free end (2) as a lock counterpiece, and the drive moves an intermediate element, such as a pivot lever (14) which is coupled to the latch hook (5), for closing and latching the folding roof (1) in a pivoting and sliding motion relative to the stationary guide part (7) which is in guided engagement in a guideway (8) of the latch hook (5) and pivots around the guide part (7).

Abstract: A convertible roof for a motor vehicle with a front roof element (3) and a rear roof element (4), which are supported to pivot on the body by a respective lever arrangement and can be deposited in a stowage space (6) which can be covered by a pivotable cover (7) of the stowage space. The front roof element (3) and the rear roof element (4) are deposited essentially in a vertical arrangement in the stowage space (6) for the roof elements. The cover (7) of the stowage space (6) for the roof elements is pivotally mounted on the body and can swing upward out of its cover position with the rear element (4) closed.

Abstract: A convertible top of a motor vehicle with a convertible top fabric and a plastic window which is located in a cut-out of the fabric of the top. In an edge area (4) of the window (2), either an edge (3) of the fabric (1) of the convertible top bordering the cut-out or an attachment means which is connected to the fabric (1) of the convertible top is securely molded in. The window (2) can be produced in a casting or injection molding process and in this production process the edge (3) of the fabric or the attachment means is embedded in the window during its manufacture.

Abstract: A pivot drive for a front side roof rod of a motor vehicle roof or a convertible folding top which is supported with a pivoting joint on a rear lateral roof rod. The rear lateral roof rod is pivotally supported via a rod arrangement on the motor vehicle body. When the roof or folding top is open the top can be lowered into a lowered position, and when the roof or folding top is opened and closed the front side roof rod is pivoted by the pivot drive. The pivot drive has a connector that couples in driving engagement the front roof rod to a rod of the rod arrangement. The pivot drive pivots the front side roofrod relative to the rear roofrod when the roof or folding top is being lowered by the pivoting motion of the roof rod.

Abstract: A convertible vehicle roof (1) has a front roof part (3) and a rear roof part (4) which are mounted movably on the body of the vehicle and which can be put away into a roof storage space (20). The front roof part (3) is supported by a pivot-bearing device (9, 13) which is mounted displaceably on a guide device (16) fixed on the vehicle and which, during the opening and putting away of the front roof part (3), moves along the guide device (16) and in the process lowers the front roof part (3) into the roof storage space (20). The front roof part (3), when lowered into the roof storage space (20), can be arranged in an obliquely set or substantially vertical swung orientation.
