ABSTRACT:
A top opening apparatus for vehicles and vehicle enclosures such as pickup truck bed tops, which apparatus includes a pair of folding top panels longitudinally hinged to the vehicle or top for closing at a fold line which defines the top centerline of the vehicle or top. In open configuration the top panels pivot on the hinges into a substantially vertical, open configuration to facilitate loading and hauling of cargo which is taller or larger than the normal internal height of the vehicle or top. In a preferred embodiment the rear window assembly of the top opening apparatus is removable from the vehicle or top when the top panels are opened, to better facilitate loading and unloading of the cargo.
