DRIVE
December 18, 2002
The convertible motor vehicle, having a roof (2) made from two detachable rigid panels (20) and a frame (21) supporting a rear window that stow in the vehicle's trunk, has at least one stop (61) for the roof fixed to a protective blind (4) in the trunk. The stop is fixed to a crosspiece (6) at one end of the blind and projects beyond it to support the roof panels, while the cross-piece fits into guides (8) in the vehicle body. The blind is rolled up inside a housing (5) when not in use.
