A frameless articulating decklid system is designed for a vehicle with a body and a retractable roof selectively covering a passenger compartment disposed in the body. The vehicle has a luggage storage compartment positioned rearward of the passenger compartment and disposed in the body. The luggage compartment has a forward end and a rearward end. The decklid system includes a decklid with a forward and a rearward end. A pair of front articulation mechanisms each have an upper portion interconnected with the forward end of the decklid and a lower portion interconnected with the vehicle body. The front articulation mechanisms each have a latched position wherein the upper and lower portions are latchedly interconnected and an unlatched position wherein the upper and lower portions are separable. The upper portion includes a multilink hinge having a retracted position and an extended position. A rear articulation mechanism has an upper portion interconnected with the rearward end of the deck and a lower portion interconnected with the vehicle body. The rear articulation mechanism has a latched position wherein the upper and lower portions are latchedly interconnected and an unlatched position wherein the upper and lower portions are separable. The lower portion includes a multilink hinge having a retracted position and an extended position. The decklid system has a first closed position wherein the front and rear actuation mechanisms are each in the latched position, the forward end of the decklid is adjacent the forward end of the luggage compartment, and the rearward end of the decklid is adjacent the rearward end of the luggage compartment. The decklid system has a second top receiving position wherein the front articulation mechanisms are in the unlatched position and the rear articulation mechanisms is in latched position. The multilink hinge of the rear articulation system is in the extended position such that the forward end of the decklid is spaced from the vehicle body so as to define a generally forward facing opening to receive the retractable roof. The decklid has a third luggage receiving position wherein the front articulation mechanisms are in the latched position and the rear articulation mechanism is in the unlatched position. The multilink hinge of each of the front articulation mechanisms is in the extended position such that the rearward end of the decklid is spaced from the vehicle body so as to define a generally rearward facing opening to receive luggage.
