A hardtop a convertible vehicle has at least two roof parts which can be displaced between a closed position and a stowed position. In the stowed position, the roof parts are stowed in a vehicle trunk, and can be brought into a loading position which is elevated relative to the stowed position. Furthermore, the hardtop has a folding-top actuation assembly which has at least one folding-top linkage, at least one drive device and at least one bearing device. The roof parts are coupled to the bearing device via at least one link of the folding-top linkage and can be displaced by the drive device. The bearing device has a main bearing and an intermediate bearing which is movable relative to the main bearing. The drive device has a translatory drive element and a rotatory drive elements, which are engaged with each other. The link of the folding-top linkage is connected to the rotatory drive element and is mounted such that it can rotate together with the intermediate bearing about a common pivot. A control lever is articulated on the translatory drive elements, and is guided in a guide track between the main bearing and the intermediate bearing in such a manner that it brings the roof parts into the loading position when the translatory drive element is acted upon.
