A pane arrangement for closing an opening in the outer shell of the motor vehicle, has a closed position tightly closing the opening, and an open position partially clearing the opening. A flexible pane is connected without hinges to the vehicle to seal the opening. At least a first partial region of the pane is permanently connected to the outer shell of the vehicle, and at least a second partial region of the pane can be bent out of the closed position by deformation of the pane. Similarly, a body element of a motor vehicle with contains a flexible plate which is connected to the vehicle without hinges, at least a first partial region of the plate being permanently connected to the outer vehicle shell, and at least a second partial region of the plate being able to be bent away from the outer vehicle shell.

Window pane assembly and bodywork element for a vehicle

A motor vehicle is provided which includes a passenger compartment, a vehicle roof which in its closed position closes the passenger compartment, and a cargo bed open to the top and located behind the passenger compartment. The vehicle roof can be swiveled from its closed position into an open position in which its rear edge is located behind the passenger compartment near the cargo bed. A multiple-joint arrangement is provided for swiveling the motor vehicle roof out of the closed position into the open position and thus allowing the vehicle to be easily converted from a pick-up into a convertible. The multiple-joint arrangement includes a first part attached to the roof at or near the rear edge of the roof and a second part attached to a middle area of the roof.
