ABSTRACT:
An improved locking arrangement for a vehicle body member with an opening, a tiltable and removable cover for closing the opening which is swivelable in the vicinity of a front edge and has a tilting mechanism near its rear edge and connected with the cover is formed by first locking elements which are so disposed and designed that they are releasable only from inside the vehicle, even when the cover is tilted, and second locking elements which are releasable only from the outside of the vehicle when the cover is tilted. According to a preferred embodiment, the first locking elements are provided laterally next to the tilting mechanism on both sides thereof and are shielded by walls both laterally and below, while a preferred arrangement for the second locking elements includes a hook engageable with a locking surface which is so disposed that the hook latches rearward of the first locking elements.
