ABSTRACT:
A device for fixing a roof detachable from a motor vehicle body to the vehicle body. The detachable roof is provided thereon with first and second lock pins guided by guides and projectable in directions opposite to each other. These lock pins are inserted into lock holes formed in the vehicle body, whereby the detachable roof can be fixed to the vehicle body. The guides have a plurality of fixed positions around the axis of respective mounting holes of the detachable roof. A guide hole formed in the guides is made eccentric with the center axis of each guide such that a straight line from the center of the guide hole to the center axis of the mounting hole of the detachable roof is inclined to the horizontal line, whereby positional differences between the outer surface of the detachable roof and the main roof body surface, when the detachable roof is locked in place, may be minimized.
