Abstract
A folding hood for motor vehicles has a dimensionally stable rear window, especially made of mineral glass, which, when the hood is closed, is connected along its lower edge side via a rigidly tensioned tensioning means to a material-retaining hoop forming the lower termination of the hood. When the hood is folded down, the rear window can be folded downwards into a storage position about an axis extending approximately parallel to the lower edge side of the rear window. In order to prevent drumming noises produced during driving operation by flapping movements of the rear window, a support device is arranged on the material retaining hoop, by which the rear window is supported, close to its lower edge side, transversely to the direction of tension of the tensioning means on the material-retaining hoop, while the folding hood remains closed.
