A mounting arrangement for a windshield of a motor vehicle includes control linkage operable for articulating the windshield between a raised position and a lowered position such that an inner side of the windshield downwardly faces the vehicle hood when the windshield is in its lowered position. The mounting arrangement includes a first pair of control links which are pivotally interconnected at their first ends to the vehicle body and pivotally interconnected at their second ends to the windshield. Preferably, the mounting arrangement further includes a second pair of control links which are similarly pivotally interconnected at their respective first and second ends to the vehicle body and windshield. The mounting arrangement further includes a drive mechanism connected to one of the links of the first pair of control links and one of the links of the second pair of control links for driving the windshield between its raised position and lowered position. In one form, the drive mechanism includes a drive shaft and a drive motor operatively engaged with the drive shaft.
