[0017] FIG. 1 shows a convertible top 1 of a convertible (not shown in other parts) to be opened, which can be stored in the area behind the convertible, in particular in a convertible box (not shown). Here, the top 1 has at least the following components: a top link 3 forming a lateral roof frame 2 , which is arranged laterally on the top 1 , and a covering layer 4 which at least partially covers the top 1 . The top link 3 arranged laterally therein is designed as a drive link and, when pivoted, brings about an opening movement specific to the top 1 according to the invention, which will be described further below. The covering layer 4 forms a continuous roof contour when the top 1 is closed and is preferably water-repellent and especially sound-insulating, so that the interior of the convertible can be protected from the noise of street traffic on the one hand and from the noise of road traffic on the other hand. affected by weather.

Abstract

A top for a convertible has a top linkage forming a lateral roof frame at each side, and a flexible covering which is stretched open when the top is closed and covers at least parts of the top.

Background technique [0002] Convertible vehicles generally have a roof that can be opened, generally a so-called hardtop or softtop. In both solutions, the seal provided between the hood and the hood link or the rest of the convertible represents a potential weak point. Since, when the sealing effect of the seal is reduced, in addition to unfavorable airflows, the noise of street traffic penetrating into the vehicle interior can also impair the driving comfort of the convertible, the seal is designed in such a way that on the one hand it closes securely and tightly, and on the other hand On the other hand, it is especially important to maintain a long-term sealing function. [0003] EP 0713794 B1 discloses a folding top for a motor vehicle, which consists of a top frame and a top lining. The roof lining...
