ABSTRACT:
A folding top for a vehicle, particularly a passenger car, consists of a folding top structure and of a folding top covering, the folding top structure including a rigid substantially plate shaped folding top section which extends adjacent to the windshield frame. The plate-shaped folding top section is supported on the adjoining folding top section by way of B-column control arms, which are constructed in one piece. For linking of the dimensionally stable folding top section adjacent to each B-column control arm, a main control arm is arranged whose one end is pivotably connected to the forward folding top section and whose other end is pivotably connected to a lower control lever, each lower control lever connecting the B-column control arm with a main hoop which spans the passenger compartment in a curved manner and is situated behind it.
