ABSTRACT:
In the area of the rearward wheel houses, a body structure for a convertible has a transversely extending rear wall which is connected to the floor and the two wheel houses and which is supported on the forward body by way of longitudinally directed, laterally exterior members. For reducing the cost, the weight and the processing time in the manufacturing of the body structure shell or frame, it is provided that the rear wall, including the provided reinforcements as well as the two longitudinally directed members, are combined to form a prefabricated module which is mounted into the vehicle only after the surface treatment of the remaining body structure in the finishing operation or an intermediate station.
