Abstract
A retractable roof for a vehicle has three rigid roof sections. A plurality of links and levers connect the three roof sections. The links and levers along with a slide on at least one roof section control and guide the three roof sections in an optimal manner as they move from a closure position covering a cabin of the vehicle to a storage position in a rear boot of the vehicle. The dimensions of the roof sections and boot allow the roof sections to fit into the boot.
