A cover device for a folding top compartment of a vehicle with a lowerable roof structure, by which it is possible to pivot the roof structure into the folding top compartment arranged behind a rear region in a back part of the vehicle bodywork, comprising:

• a folding top compartment lid by which the folding top compartment can be closed and which can be folded up towards the rear of the vehicle, a free space remaining between a front edge region of the closed folding top compartment lid and a rear edge region of the rear region,
• a cover unit by which the free space can be closed which has two lateral cover parts, said lateral cover parts being adjustable between an active position, in which each lateral cover part closes off a passage opening for a C pillar region of the roof structure, and a passive position, in which each lateral cover part clears the passage opening for the C pillar region,
• wherein the lateral cover parts are pivotably mounted on a said folding top compartment lid in such a way that in their active positions, the lateral cover parts adjoin the front edge region of the folding top compartment lid, and in their passive positions, the lateral cover parts bear against the underside of the folding top compartment lid.
