ABSTRACT:
A vehicle folding top is stowed in an associated generally U-shaped folding-top box when the folding top is opened. The folding-top covering held by a folding-top structure is, during the lowering of the folding top, drawn into the folding-top box while, at the same time, run on a directing edge at the upper margin of a limiting wall of the folding top box. The directing edge extends over a middle wall and over a part length of the side walls of the folding-top box and is softened by rounding edges which merge into the wall surfaces. To allow the folding-top covering to be inserted into the folding-top box with a minimum of wear, an additional directing contour is provided above the box and comprises, at its upper margin, a run-on edge set back relative to the directing edge of the folding-top box and a sliding surface located between the directing edge and the run-on edge.
