Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A removable roof can be positioned between a windshield frame and a rollover hoop of a motor vehicle. The roof is divided in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle to form first and second roof elements. Seal profiles ( 22, 28, 29 ) are integrated into edges ( 13, 15, 16 ) of the roof elements ( 12 ) running in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle to provide sealing of the roof elements ( 11, 12 ) with respect to side windows and with respect to one another. The same seal profiles ( 23, 30 ) are integrated into the first and second roof elements at edges ( 27, 29 ) running transverse to the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle to provide sealing with respect to the rollover hoop ( 40 ) and a rear window ( 39 ) assigned to the rollover hoop ( 40 ).
