ABSTRACT:
A flexible vehicle roof has a flexible roof skin and a plurality of supporting elements that interact with the roof skin. The supporting elements are configured at least partially in some regions as sheet-like surface elements that support the roof skin. The supporting elements can be shifted together with the roof skin from a closed position into an open position opening up the vehicle interior, with it being possible for a plurality of the surface elements to be brought into overlap at least in some regions. In the open position, a front surface element forming the roof lug is disposed above a rear element surrounding a rear window, and a third surface element which, in the closed position, is disposed between the front and the rear elements can be displaced during the opening phase in a positively coupled manner into a packing position located below the rear element.
