ABSTRACT:
A convertible top having means for tensioning the convertible top pliable covering means and for reducing the distance between the convertible top and a vehicle body panel, thereby defining the exterior finished surface of the vehicle at a location where the body panel and the convertible top are adjacent. To accomplish this, the convertible top utilizes a member coupled to the convertible top linkage assembly that is displaced outwardly by a camming means. The method of outwardly displacing this member involves the first step of raising the convertible top to an intermediate raised portion. The next step is raising the convertible top further such that the member engages a camming means and is displaced outwardly. Finally, the last step is bringing the convertible top to an operative position where it covers the interior of the vehicle.
