A retractable closure for a vehicle body having a roof structure extending over only a portion of the passenger compartment, the retractable closure including a frame bodily movable between extended and retracted positions corresponding to open and closed conditions of the vehicle body, a flexible cover attached at one edge thereof to the leading edge of the roof structure, and at the other edge thereof to the header of the frame and intermediate the edges to a transverse bow supported on the frame for generally vertical movement relative to the latter, and a cam guide on the vehicle body and cooperating roller follower attached to the bow. As the frame moves from the extended to the retracted position the transverse bow causes folding of the cover generally in half below the roof structure while the cam guide and follower cooperate to lift the folded cover into juxtaposition with and under the roof structure to maximize passenger head room.
