Abstract
A removable top for a motor vehicle is described, comprising a fabric cover, which can be coupled to a body of the motor vehicle, a coupling element designed to be interposed between said cover and said body; the coupling element comprises, in turn: a support designed to engage a compartment defined by said body; and a first gasket defining a first peripheral edge of the coupling element, on which the cover can be arranged so as to abut against it, a second peripheral edge opposite said first edge; the first gasket delimiting a first convex region of the support; the second peripheral edge further comprises at least one first segment (47) delimiting at least one second convex region of said support.
