Abstract

An arrangement of a rear lid or the like on the body frame of a motor vehicle, particularly for vehicles with a storable roof structure, with a pivoted mounting of the rear lid by which the rear lid can be swung up into an erect loading position around an axis which extends close to one of its ends, providing accessibility to a two-part storage-space region through an opening in the frame which is freed when the rear lid is swung up, a part of the cress-section of the frame opening being associated with each of the two storage-space regions. In order that relatively easy accessibility to both storage space regions can be assured when the rear lid is swung up, the rear lid can be moved by a slide-swing mounting on the body frame into a loading position in which the partial cross-sections of the frame opening are conveniently accessible only from one side of the erected rear lid.
