ABSTRACT:
A lock includes a plug-type pin, which is rotatably held in a stationary receiving sleeve fastened to the hardtop. A spring element is provided between the sleeve and a contact disk. The plug-type pin has a link pin on one end side which can be locked while introduced in a helical guideway of a stationary link element of the vehicle body. On the head side, the plug-type pin has a transversely situated holding pin, which can be adjusted on face-side guideways of the receiving sleeve into an open and closed position against the tension of an elastomer spring arranged between the contact disk and the receiving sleeve.
