ABSTRACT:
A folding top for a passenger car with a folding roof (convertible) includes flexible roofing which is accommodated between opposite pairs of rod linkage legs of a folding rod linkage. With the swivelling motion of the folding rod linkage in a plane parallel to the longitudinal center plane of the vehicle, the folding top can be brought from a closed position held in a windshield region into an essentially superimposed folded position of the rod linkage legs in the rear region of the vehicle. In order to achieve improved handling and a secured covering of the folding top, the region of the top formed in the closed position between the front rod linkage legs is constructted as a shell for the top, which in itself is stiff and dimensionally stable, and is connected flush with the flexible roofing and can be fixed in the folded position in the rear region over the folded top in a covering position.
