Abstract
In the case of a motor vehicle having a lowerable roof structure, respective roof parts pivoted into an open position, in which they release the rear passenger compartment of the vehicle, can be pivoted at least partially into a folding-top compartment in the tail-end region of the vehicle. In this arrangement, the folding-top compartment region merges directly into a trunk region covered by a tail gate. Provided between the two regions is at least one intermediate wall which can be moved into a closing-off position or open position. The intermediate wall is designed as a roller screen, a folding screen, or the like, which runs in respective lateral guides. In its closed-off position, the intermediate wall extends rearwards forming an upper boundary of the trunk region.
