ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a convertible top with a top cover over lay type seal between the rear window glass and the convertible top along side and lower edge of the window glass. The convertible top allows the utilization of a substantially rigid back window of a much greater area than previously allowable and provides a novel folding arrangement for storing the back window. The arrangement includes a first link pivotably connected with the vehicle. A trim link pivotally connected with the first link, extends rearwardly, and the trim link has a pivotally connected extension. An upper link is pivotally connected with the first link and the back window. The back window is also pivotally connected with the trim link extension. In a first top position the back window is urged against a lower sealing surface. In a second top position the back window is positioned in a generally vertical position away from the sealing surface. In a third position the back window is stored in the vehicle.
