Abstract

An arrangement for fixing in position a top of a passenger motor vehicle includes a first member retained in position at the windshield frame which form-lockingly cooperates in the closed position of the top with a second member attached at the top. In order that this arrangement which has a simple construction with good functioning and which requires little structural space--as viewed in the vertical direction--, the first member is formed by an upwardly directed, transversely extending leg adjoining a recess which is surrounded by a downwardly open receiving section of the second member, whereby a web of the receiving section facing the windshield frame protrudes into the recess.
