A convertible top for a motor vehicle. The top is supported by rails for movement between a deployed position and a stored position in the trunk of the vehicle. A deck lid closes the trunk and can be retracted to a position clearing a path for movement of the top between deployed and stored positions. The top is made of two separate parts, a roof part and a rear part.
