Abstract
A folding top for vehicles has a tension bow which is connected with the rearward lower edge of the folding top covering. In the closed position of the folding top, the covering is supported by at least one sealing body on the bottom side of an adjoining vehicle body part. So that damage to the vehicle body part as a result of an excessive contact pressure of the tension bow is avoided and a defined contact pressure of the sealing body can be achieved, the tension bow is connected with a stationary rollover bar by way of at least one adjustable relief device.
