ABSTRACT:
A folding top for a vehicle, particularly a passenger car, has a folding top structure and a folding top covering, in which case a large-surface forward folding top section is connected on its two longitudinal sides in each case by way of two control arms with folding top bearings and on laterally exterior areas of the dimensionally stable folding top section and on at least one control arm of each longitudinal side of the vehicle, roof frame sections are provided for fastening the folding top covering and sealing bodies. So that, in its sunk, rear-side deposited position, the folding top linkage requires as little space as possible, particularly in the vertical direction, it is provided that frame sections are provided on both control arms of the folding top structure in roof areas, in which case the roof frame sections of the forward folding top section and the roof frame sections of the control arms, in the closed position of the folding top, form a three-piece lateral roof frame which is mutually adjoined to be flush with the shell.
