ABSTRACT:
A convertible roof actuation mechanism includes at least a forward bow, a power actuated rearmost bow and an intermediate bow. A linkage set separately connects the rearmost bow to the intermediate bow. When the forward bow is latched and as the rearmost bow is rearwardly rotated, the linkage set rotates the intermediate bow to tension the roof cover.
