ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle roof can fold from a position of use to a retracted position in a rear boot of the motor vehicle. The roof has a central element and a pair of lateral elements, each rotatably attached at one of two transverse edges of the central element. A mechanism connected between each lateral element and the central element cooperates with features carried on a chassis of the vehicle to cause the lateral elements to rotate into an inclined position respective the central element as the roof folds into the retracted position. The mechanism also causes the lateral elements to rotate as the roof moves into the position of use.
