Abstract: A folding top for a convertible vehicle including a folding top frame movable between a closed, stretched position and an open, compacted position. The top frame includes two rod linkage systems, each including a first leg and a frame section having a guide rail connected to the first leg and a holding strut movable relative to the guide rail and the first leg during movement of the top frame between the open and closed positions. A flexible skin is retained by the holding strut such that the skin is movable relative to the first leg during movement of the first leg to thereby reduce stresses on the skin.

Abstract: A convertible automobile with a roof that is flexible at least in parts, that can be placed into a rear region of the automobile, particularly a convertible automobile with a hatchback rear, is structured in such a way that a spoiler made of a rigid material, integrated into the flexible roof, is assigned to the roof.

Abstract: A folding top for a convertible vehicle is provided with a folding top frame (4), which can be swiveled out of a closed position in contact with the windshield frame into a rear open position and has rod linkage legs (6, 6′, 7, 7′), which lie opposite to one another in pairs symmetrically to the longitudinal medium plane (5) and at which, in particular, a flexible skin (8) of the folding top (2) is held. The inventive folding top frame (4) is provided in the region of at least one pair of rod linkage legs (6, 6′), lying opposite to one another, in each case with a frame section (9), which is intended to hold the folding top (2) and can be shifted to during the opening and closing motions (arrow A) relative to these rod linkage legs (6, 6′).
