Top of a convertible vehicle comprising panel bows

A top of a convertible vehicle, comprising a top cover and a top linkage which can be displaced between a closed position, in which a vehicle interior is covered, and a storage position, in which the vehicle interior is open toward the top, and which has a linkage arrangement on both sides with respect to a vertical longitudinal center plane of the top, each linkage arrangement comprising two main links, which are pivotably mounted on a main bearing fixed to the vehicle and one of which is driven by means of a main drive, panel bows extending between the bilaterally arranged linkage arrangements, a first one of said panel bows being a front bow, a second one being a front center bow, a third one being a rear center bow and a fourth one being a rear window bow, wherein a tension bow is arranged between the bilaterally arranged linkage arrangements, which limits the top cover at the rear in the closed position and is displaceable between a lowered position and a lifted position by means of a tension rod arrangement, and in that the tension rod arrangement is connected to an actuating link, which can be driven by a drive means and via which a drive lever is connected to a rear window link arrangement, and in that, by means of the actuating link, the rear window bow undergoes a displacing motion in the direction of the tension bow via the drive lever when the top is being displaced from the closed position into the storage position,

• wherein the tension bow is articulated to a steering link on both sides, each steering link being connected to a drive lever which is driven by the drive means for the actuating link, and,
• wherein a roof rear link is articulated to the tension bow and to the steering link, said roof rear link being connected via a hinge point to a coupling rod for actuating the front bow.
