An electric vehicle () has a charging flap () articulated on a support structure by way of a four-bar linkage arrangement () so that the charging flap () can be moved between a closed position (FIG.A) and an open position (FIG.F). To simplify the actuation of the charging flap, the mechanism for actuating the charging flap () has a push-push element () combined with a spring device () that is assigned to the four-bar linkage arrangement ().

A roof shell structure for a motor vehicle has a roof shell with an outer shell and an inner roof lining. A sound absorption element is integrated into the roof shell or into the roof shell structure. The sound absorption element is arranged between the outer shell and the inner roof lining in an opening in an inner shell.

A wind deflector () for a vehicle has a fastening section () for mounting the wind deflector () releasably on a retainer () of an upper cowl () of the vehicle and an air-guiding section () for guiding the flow of air. A locking device () assigned to the fastening section () releasably locks the wind deflector () to the retainer () of the upper cowl. The locking device () has at least one shiftable anchor (), an actuator () and a spring (). The actuator () interacts with the anchor () so that, when the actuator () is not actuated, the spring () presses the anchor () into a locking position, and, when the actuator () is actuated, that actuator presses the anchor () into an unlocking position counter to a spring force of the spring ().

An emergency actuating tool for at least one equipment component which is specific to a vehicle with a movable roof arrangement, has at least one tool head for the equipment component, which tool head has an actuating element. For an alternative embodiment of the emergency actuating tool, it is provided that the emergency actuating tool has, moreover, at least one second tool head which has a second actuating element, that the emergency actuating tool is configured in multiple pieces, such that it can be assembled and at least partially dismantled, and that a third tool head with a third actuating element can be exposed by the dismantling of the emergency actuating tool.

A roof arrangement () for a convertible () has a flexible convertible-top cloth () that can be removed by hand and stretched over a passenger compartment () between a cowl () and a rear end fastening device (). A supporting bow () is beneath the convertible-top cloth () and is arranged in the transverse direction (FQ) of the convertible () at a distance behind the cowl (). A tensioning device () keeps the convertible-top cloth () tensioned in relation to the cowl (). The tensioning device () braces the convertible-top cloth () down adjacent to the supporting bow () and approximately in the vertical direction of the vehicle (FH) when the roof arrangement () is mounted on the convertible ().
