Abstract
A retractable roof device for a vehicle, including a roof panel configured to be displaced by a guide, moving from a closed position covering the passenger compartment of the vehicle to a retracted position in a rear area of the vehicle. The device also includes a cover structure. The controlled displacement of the roof between the closed position and the retracted position causes displacement of the rear cover structure and/or part of the passenger compartment such that the rear cover structure and/or passenger compartment part allows the roof panel and guide to be displaced.

A device for a retractable roof for a vehicle, comprising:
- a roof panel configured to be displaced by a guide from a closed position covering a passenger compartment of the vehicle to a retracted position in a rear zone of the vehicle;
- and
- a rear cover structure,
- wherein actuated displacement of the roof between the closed position and the retracted position generates displacement of the rear cover structure and/or of a portion of the passenger compartment, such that the rear cover structure and/or the portion of the passenger compartment permits passage of the roof panel and of the guide.
