Zusammenfassung:A folding top for a convertible vehicle comprises a rigid rear window assembly and a top framework with side frame parts for supporting a roof covering, which parts are at least partially retractable into a rear portion of the vehicle. At least a rear area of the roof covering, which is affixed to the rear window and to the rearmost side frame part, is made of a flexible material. The rearmost side frame part is connected via a linkage with the rear window assembly such that the distance between the rearmost side frame part and the side edge of the rear window passes through a maximum shortly before reaching the fully closed position of the folding top, whereby the tensioning of the flexible material counteracts against an opening of the folding top.
