Abstract
A method controls opening and closing of a folding top of a vehicle. The folding top is openable and closable in a power-operated manner and is placeable in a folding top compartment which can be closed by a lid. In order to shorten the time required for the closing and opening of the folding top, at least the lid for the compartment is moved simultaneously with the folding top.
