The convertible vehicle has a stowage area (10) for the retracted hood behind the passenger compartment. Covering the area is a lid (14) connected with the body (4) by two hinge arms (16) which are fixed to the lid by screws (22). A cross-tie rod (24) is connected by separate points to the same hinge arms. A pair of restraint straps (36) connect the lid to the rod. Should the vehicle be hit from the rear, the lid may break free from its fasteners whereupon the restraint straps would limit its movement. |
