Abstract
Systems and methods herein are directed to an adjustable roof assembly for providing an adjustable roof of a vehicle. The roof adjustment assembly includes a base with a plurality of guide tubes extending from the base. Each of the guide tubes includes an inner rod that moves relative to an outer tube at least partially surrounding the inner rod. The base includes a foldable cover extending between a first pair of guide tubes and a panel cover extending between a second pair of guide tubes. The vehicle can include a roof coupled to the base and a guide tube synchronization system to facilitate controlling movement of each inner rod of the plurality of guide tubes such that the inner rods raise at the same rate. Movement of each inner rod of the plurality of guide tubes causes the roof to raise from a lowered position to a raised position.
