ABSTRACT:
A convertible top system for automobiles is disclosed including a rear convertible frame extending partially over the passenger compartment when raised, and a removable roof panel which may be emplaced between the windshield frame and the forward main bow of the rear convertible frame. The system allows either a fully or partially open top configuration for automobiles. The rear convertible frame is braced in the raised position by engagement with a hinged tonneau cover panel normally overlying the storage well, but which can be raised to allow movement of the convertible frame in and out of the storage well. Brace blocks move into engagement with knees formed on the lower ends of the frame main bow as the tonneau cover is pivoted down, and a selectively operable pull down and lock mechanisms act on pins connected to a rear bow to cause the rear bow to be compressed against and locked to the tonneau cover.
