Abstract

A roof construction for a motor vehicle is provided with a forward roof part, a rearward roof part having C-columns and having a rear window, and an adjusting device moving the two roof parts between a lowered inoperative position and a closed operative position. The adjusting device has a main hinge pin about which at least the rearward roof part can be swung. By way of a hinge pin, the rear window is hinged to the C-columns. One end of a drag lever is laterally linked in each case to the rear window, and its other end is disposed on the vehicle body side in a hinge axle. The hinge axle of the drag lever is situated at a distance from the main hinge pin.
