Abstract
This removable roof, which is suited for a motor vehicle such as a passenger car, overarches a passenger space in a body of the passenger car and is held on fixed body structures of the body. The roof is provided with at least one locking device, is made of dimensionally rigid material, and includes two roof elements assembled in a median longitudinal plane of the passenger car. For optimization of the roof, each roof element has a locking apparatus and cooperates with a bracing apparatus which counteracts moments on a bracing apparatus lying on one of the fixed body structures, such as a roll bar device, upon actuation of a locking part of the locking apparatus to which a boundary wall of the roof element running adjacent to the locking apparatus is exposed.
