Abstract
With a cover device for a folding top compartment of a vehicle with a lowerable roof structure, in particular for a hardtop vehicle, it is possible to pivot the roof structure into the folding top compartment arranged behind the rear region in a back part of the vehicle bodywork. The compartment can be closed off with a folding top compartment lid which can be folded up towards the rear. A cover unit with a front cover part, a rear cover part, and two lateral cover parts can close a free space which is formed between the closed folding top compartment lid and the rear region. In order to simplify actuation of the individual cover parts, the front cover part is pivotably mounted on the vehicle bodywork, while the rear cover part is pivotably mounted on the front cover part and each of the lateral cover parts is pivotably mounted on the folding top compartment lid.
