A folding top for a vehicle includes a folding top fabric for covering a vehicle interior in a closed position and opening up the vehicle interior in an open position. The folding top has an A pillar portion for mechanical connection to an A pillar of the vehicle, a C pillar portion for mechanical connection to a C pillar of the vehicle, a B pillar portion between the A pillar portion and the C pillar portion for lateral connection to a B pillar of the vehicle. A tensioning cable extends from the A pillar portion via the B pillar portion into the C pillar portion on each side of the folding top fabric in order to tension the folding top fabric in the closed position.

Folding top for a vehicle

A locking device for a buttress of a flying buttress hood of a vehicle, having a locking element for locking the buttress in a locking position and a display device for visually signaling the locking position. The display device has a display element which is coupled via a coupling element to the locking element and therefore a movement of the locking element into the locking position moves the display element via the coupling element into a first display position and, upon leaving the locking position, the locking element via the coupling element moves the display element from the first display position into at least one second display position.
