ABSTRACT:
A folding top for passenger car vehicles is disclosed which can be displaced from a vehicle top closed position into a rearside deposited position and is composed of a supporting folding top structure and a folding top covering interacting therewith. The folding top structure includes a dimensionally stable folding top section which, in the closed position, is arranged adjacent to a windshield frame and can be displaced into the vehicle rear area in such a manner that the outer boundary surface of the dimensionally stable folding top section facing away from the passenger compartment is always directed upwards during the whole adjustment movement. The linking of the folding top covering to the longitudinal sides is designed in such a manner that, in addition to a smooth opening and closing of the folding top, tolerances of the folding top covering can be compensated and an overstretching of the folding top covering during the opening and closing is avoided. It is provided that the folding top covering, on the vehicle longitudinal sides, is fastened to the dimensionally stable folding top section and is fastened on a main hoop, whereas the folding top covering rests, without being fastened, against a B-column of the folding top structure disposed in-between and is pulled by means of a tension rope and a fabric control in a defined manner into a receiving device provided on the B-column.
