A roof cargo tray for a motor vehicle includes a loading surface, which is formed by two outer longitudinal profiles, a plurality of inner longitudinal profiles, two side profiles, a front transverse profile and a rear transverse profile. The side profiles and the transverse profiles delimit the loading surface of the roof cargo tray laterally. The inner longitudinal profiles have identical profile cross sections and include a longitudinal groove and a surface which is located opposite the longitudinal groove and is of closed design. At least one of the inner longitudinal profiles is arranged in a first orientation such that, when the roof cargo tray has been mounted on the motor vehicle, the longitudinal groove faces upward, and wherein at least one of the inner longitudinal profiles is arranged in a second orientation, which is rotated through 180° about a longitudinal axis and in which the longitudinal groove faces downward.

A laminated vehicle glass has an outer glass, an intermediate layer arrangement, an inner glass, a first color carrier and a second color carrier. The outer glass is at least partly adhesively bonded to the inner glass via the intermediate layer arrangement. The first color carrier is formed as a print with a first printing ink on the inner side of the outer glass. The second color carrier is formed as a print with a printing ink or as a film and has a second color. The second color carrier is provided in at least some regions on the side of the first color carrier that faces away from the outer glass. The first color and second color are different, at least in some regions. The second color is provided in a frame-like region of the laminated vehicle glass.

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.

A frame arrangement of a motor vehicle body accommodates at least a windshield and has a cowl frame part that runs in a transverse direction of the motor vehicle on an upper side of the windshield. At least one pivotably mounted wind deflector is mounted at the cowl frame part and is movable by a drive device. The wind deflector has at least first and second flow surfaces. The flow surfaces are arranged so that, via a pivoting movement of the wind deflector, only one flow surface can be set into an active position. The first flow surface is designed to match the cowl frame part and the second flow surface has at least one interfering contour.

Frame arrangement of a motor vehicle body

A wind deflector has a bearing base and a shiftable body that is shiftable relative to the bearing base between a first, extended position, in which the body is spaced apart from the bearing base and a second, placed-on position, in which the body is placed onto the bearing base. Two spaced apart links extend between the body and the bearing base. Each link has one end articulated to the body and a second end articulated to the bearing base. A push-push lock is provided for fixing at least one of the link and the body in the placed-on position of the body.

Wind deflector

A motor vehicle has a cowl () with an upper frame part () and a closable vehicle roof opening () in the region of the upper frame part (). The cowl () has a draft deflector cassette () for movably mounting a draft deflector. An interior lining () and a frame seal () are connected to a side of the upper frame part () that faces an interior of the vehicle and a decorative seal () interacts with the interior lining (). The draft deflector cassette () is arranged between the frame seal () and the decorative seal (). The draft deflector cassette can be placed, with simple installation, in a visually attractive manner in the region of the upper frame part () of the cowl frame.
