Abstract
A convertible vehicle roof (1) has a front roof part (3) and a rear roof part (4) which are mounted movably on the body of the vehicle and which can be put away into a roof storage space (20). The front roof part (3) is supported by a pivot-bearing device (9, 13) which is mounted displaceably on a guide device (16) fixed on the vehicle and which, during the opening and putting away of the front roof part (3), moves along the guide device (16) and in the process lowers the front roof part (3) into the roof storage space (20). The front roof part (3), when lowered into the roof storage space (20), can be arranged in an obliquely set or substantially vertical swung orientation.
