Abstract
In a drainage arrangement for a folding hard-top vehicle roof that can be moved into a storage position in the vehicle luggage compartment with the aid of pivotable C pillars, the rear window is pivotable relative to the C pillars ( ). Associated with the bottom edge of the rear window is a seal which has a water-guiding channel formed therein. The channel opens in the area of the C pillars into a collecting trough ( ), which in turn is connected by a flexible hose ( ) to a moisture space of one of the vehicle side windows.
