Abstract
A detachable vehicle roof is described herein. Various embodiments may include overhead covers, hinges, and a frame. The overhead covers may cover a vehicle passenger compartment. The hinges may connect the overhead covers to the frame. The frame may be detachable from a vehicle chassis. The frame may include a rear support bar, cross-bars, and a front support bar. The cross-bars may connect the front support bar to the rear support bar. The front support bar may form a contour of an edge of a vehicle windshield. The front support bar may form a contour of an edge of a vehicle chassis. The contour may have a bend corresponding to a position on the chassis where the windshield mounts to the chassis. A buffer zone may be provided between the front support bar and the windshield, and/or between the front support bar and the chassis.
