TOP FOR A CONVERTIBLE WITH A DEFORMATION AREA

A convertible vehicle roof (2) is proposed which is displaceable by means of a roof linkage (3) between an open position and a closed position. At least one element (72) of the roof (2) has a deformation region (78). The deformation region (78) of the element (72) of the roof (2) is designed to convert at least part of an external force acting on the roof (2) when the roof (2) is in an intermediate position between the open position and the closed position, which exceeds a predefined limit value, into deformation energy.
