ABSTRACT:
A convertible is provided with a top structure that has at least one top part and a rear window part. The structure is stowable in an open position in the rear area of the vehicle beneath a rear lid and at least partially in a trunk. In the top structure, the rear lid is articulated laterally in each case by a multilink articulation device with a first forward pivoting device by at least one articulation point with an articulation lever. Two auxiliary frames are mounted on the body in the rear area of the vehicle behind the first pivot device at a pivot point. At least one of the two auxiliary frames is connectable with the vehicle body by a releasable locking member and a latching device. The rear lid is connected with a vehicle body in the rear area for a top stowage function by a second rear pivoting device and a releasable latching device. The rear lid, articulation lever, and auxiliary frame together form a four-link mechanism with their articulation and pivot points.
