Abstract
The invention relates to a convertible top arrangement for a vehicle, comprising a top mechanism, which actuates a convertible top and is arranged on a body of the vehicle, a rear window, which is designed to close an aperture in the convertible top when the top mechanism is closed, a rear-window mechanism arranged outside the top mechanism engaging on the rear window and on the body, the rear-window mechanism of the rear window being capable of being lowered outside the convertible top, thereby freeing the aperture, and raised against the convertible top, thereby closing the aperture, wherein the rear-window mechanism is designed as a double four-joint system that can be folded up in a Z shape.

A convertible top arrangement for a vehicle, comprising
- a top mechanism, which actuates a convertible top and is arranged on a body of the vehicle,
- a rear window, which is designed to close an aperture in the convertible top when the top when mechanism is closed,
- a rear-window mechanism arranged separately from the top mechanism and connected to the rear window and to the body,
- the rear-window mechanism of the rear window being capable of being lowered separately from the convertible top, thereby freeing the aperture, and raised against the convertible top, thereby closing the aperture,
- wherein the rear-window mechanism is designed as a double four-joint system that can be folded up in a Z shape.
