Abstract
A flexible top vehicle or canvas top vehicle is provided with a flexible top or canvas top made of a flexible member so as to cover its roof opening. The flexible top is so disposed as to allow both of its front end and rear end to be transferred forwards or rearwards. The front end of the flexible top is associated with a first driving motor while the rear end thereof is associated with a second driving motor. The first and second driving motors are arranged to be operated by turning a forward-moving switch or a rearward-moving switch on, thereby transferring the flexible top placed in a middle position of the roof opening in a folded state in forward and rearward directions. The flexible top maintains its folded state prior to transfer even after it has been transferred.
