Abstract
A linkage flap arrangement of a convertible vehicle includes a flap bearing mounted permanently to the vehicle. A cover panel arrangement is pivotably mounted to the vehicle by the flap bearing. The cover panel arrangement is movable between a closed position closing a linkage opening of the vehicle and an open position releasing the linkage opening and includes a main cover panel and an additional cover panel. The additional cover panel is pivotable with respect to the main cover panel and is driven by a drive motor arranged at the flap bearing. The drive motor drives a cover panel transmission when pivoting the cover panel arrangement with respect to the flap bearing, the cover panel transmission being arranged at the cover panel arrangement and driving the additional cover panel in order to pivot it with respect to the main cover panel.
