Abstract
A convertible motor vehicle roof construction has the C-column sections arranged to project freely at least in their lowered inoperative position and at least along a portion of their length without any transverse connection. Control devices for the forward displacement of the rearward roof part in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle are provided so that, in the inoperative position, the C-column sections at least partially laterally flank a rear area of the vehicle interior.
