The in-folding of the segmented front roof rails (46) is controlled by linkages (48) between the segmented portions and the number one roof bow (44) and synchronizes and constrains the in-folding of the segmented front roof rails. A dampening device is utilized to dampen a portion of the movement of the top stack mechanism between extended and retracted positions.",
