ABSTRACT:
The invention is concerned with a stiffening of a surface portion of a flexible roof skin of a vehicle, which comprises a reinforcing section arranged at the roof skin and matched flexurally elastically to a curve of the roof skin in the surface portion. To prevent the effect of so-called roof skin fluttering, the reinforcing section can be subjected to stress by means of a tensioning device in such a way that it can be changed from a bent position thereof to a more sharply curved tensioning position when the roof skin is closed.
