FOLDING TOP ASSEMBLY WITH ADJUSTABLE ROOF BOW

摘要

A motor vehicle folding top assembly includes a folding top movable between a closed position in which the folding top is extended along a longitudinal axis and a stored position in which the folding top is compressed. An arched roof bow is connected to the folding top and runs transversely to the longitudinal axis. An adjusting device is connected to the first roof bow and is pivotably connected to the folding top such that upon actuation, while the folding top moves between the closed and stored positions, the adjusting device pivots to move the roof bow and thereby change the degree or direction of arching of the roof bow such that the arching degree in the stored position is less than the arching degree in the closed position or the direction of arching in the stored position is different than the direction of arching in the closed position.
