Abstract

A two-part hard top construction for an open passenger car can be deposited in a folded-together manner in a receiving space in a rear area of the vehicle body. A rearward part is constructed as a stable, one-piece component of a transparent material which forms two C-column parts laterally flanking the rear widow, and a forward roof part is constructed as a folding top unit which is supported on the rearward part and, in the unfolded condition, can be fixed on a windshield frame of the vehicle body.
