A rear window is provided in the rear region of the roofing between a rear tensioning bracket and a corner hoop disposed transversely to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, the outer wall regions of the rear window being connected in each case at the edges over holding parts with the hinged rod linkage. The rear window is guided by the holding parts on a path of motion, which has an arched region over the rear region of the vehicle with an arch height providing head space for passengers.
