An articulating roof top cover assembly for a vehicle adapted for sealing engagement with an existing portion of a hard top roof. The articulating roof top cover assembly includes an articulating portion incorporating at least a rotatable portion and slidable portion. The articulating portion is movable between at least a closed position adapted to close off the front vehicle compartment, an open sunroof position exposing the front driver/passenger compartment for an open air feel, and a further open position exposing the rear passenger compartment for an open air feel.

A motor vehicle includes a body, a roof which is adjustable between a closed position and an opened position and has at least one front roof part and a rear roof part, two opposite side pillars, and two opposite rear pillars. The front roof part is connected rotatably to the two side pillars and the rear roof part is connected rotatably to the two rear pillars. The two side pillars and the two rear pillars are movably connected to the body. In the opened position of the roof, the rear roof part forms a folding top compartment lid, below which the front roof part, the two side pillars, and the two rear pillars are stowed.

There are provided an openable roof capable of covering over a passenger cabin, a back window provided in back of the openable roof to be apart from a rear end of the openable roof which is in a state in which the openable roof covers over the passenger cabin, a link mechanism connecting the openable roof and the back window to a vehicle body such that the openable roof and the back window swing relative to the vehicle body, a storage room provided in back of the passenger cabin to store the openable roof and the back window, and a shielding member to shield a gap between the openable roof and the back window which are in a state in which the openable roof and the back window cover over the passenger cabin. This shielding member is provided not to be storable in the storage room.

A top for an openable vehicle roof, includes a front section constructed coupleable to a windshield cross member of a vehicle, a rear section configured pivotal and/or lowerable, a flexible section arranged between the front section and the rear section, wherein at least one of the front section and the flexible section is configured shiftable, and a self-supporting pushing- and/or pulling device for moving the flexible section, wherein during an opening process of the top the flexible section is foldable above the rear section so that an outer surface of the flexible section faces an outer surface of the front section.

There is provided a deck lid provided to move so as to cover an opening portion of a roof storage room in a roof closed state in which an openable roof covers over a passenger cabin and in a roof open state in which a portion of the openable roof is stored in the roof storage room and to open the opening portion of the roof storage room in a transitional state between the roof closed state and the roof open state. This deck lid comprises a base portion, a pair of right-and-left protrusion portions which are integrally formed at both end portions, in a vehicle width direction, of the base portion, protrude upward relative to the base portion, and extend in a vehicle longitudinal direction, and a connecting portion which interconnects respective upper portions of the pair of protrusion portions in the vehicle width direction.

A top of a convertible vehicle includes a top linkage. A linkage mechanism forming part of the top linkage is on each of two opposing sides of the top linkage with respect to a vertical longitudinal center plane of the top. Each linkage mechanism includes a main multi joint mechanism pivotably mounted on a vehicle-fixed main bearing, a middle roof link, a forward roof link pivotably connected to the middle roof link, and a rear roof link pivotably connected to the middle roof link. The forward roof link and the rear roof link are pivotable together in relation to the middle roof link by a coupling rod, and the main multi joint mechanism is driven by a main drive. The forward roof link and the rear roof link are driven by the main drive via a coupling device so as to pivot in relation to the middle roof link.
