ABSTRACT:
A device is provided for locking the top of a motor vehicle to the windshield frame of the vehicle. The device comprises a locking member arranged at a forward frame section of the top, a mounting provided at the windshield frame, as well as centering members effective between the top and the windshield frame.
The locking member comprises a crank connected with an operating unit, this crank being equipped with a locking pin. The locking pin cooperates with a slotted guide track constituting the mounting, in such a manner that the movement of the locking pin within the track of the slotted guide track means results in a reciprocating motion of the frame section of the top. The device is capable of being advantageously employed in a convertible top vehicle.
