Abstract

A folding top for vehicles includes a folding top structure and a folding top covering, an edge area of the folding top covering being fastened on a rear-side tensioning bow of the folding top structure and a sealing body being held in position which is in an operative connection with an adjoining vehicle body part. In order to achieve a simple mounting of the folding top covering and of the sealing body on the tensioning bow during the first assembly and in the case of repair, it is provided that separate receiving devices for fastening the folding top covering and for holding the sealing body are arranged on the tensioning bow.
