A closure device is provided for a cabriolet roof structure having at least one closure element which can assume an open position and a closed position, wherein the closure device is at least at times assigned a sensor device which can detect the open position and the closed position. According to the invention, it is provided that the sensor device comprises only one sensor which generates a first signal when the open position is reached and which generates a second signal when the closed position is reached. The invention also relates to a roof structure for a cabriolet and to a method for monitoring a closure device for a cabriolet roof structure.

Closure device for a cabriolet roof structure

In a cabriolet motor vehicle () with a foldable roof, especially a foldable hardtop (), with a rigid rear window () which is movable between a closed position in which it covers the vehicle interior, and a stowage position in which it is held in the stowage space () in the vehicle (), the hardtop () has a front roof part () which can be connected to a transverse roof support () which borders the windshield and a rear roof part () which can be moved relative to it and which is coupled to it. Furthermore, the rear window () is made on a rear window element () which can be moved relative to the vehicle body and relative to the rear roof part ().
