Abstract
A fixed folding top for a passenger car extends from a windshield frame to a rear lid and can be swivelled around a stationery swivelling axis extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle from a closed position into an open position and vice versa. A cupola-shaped end area of the folding top that in driving direction extends essentially behind a side door, extends with its lower edge to the rear lid. In order to improve the stiffness of the folding top, a plate-shaped element is arranged adjacent to the lower edge of the cupola-shaped end area and is aligned approximately horizontally and, at least with one end that is located in the rear in the driving direction, is connected firmly with the folding top to form an exterior cover in the open position of the top.
