Abstract
A removable roof intended for a motor vehicle, particularly a passenger car, covers an opening between a windshield frame and a body frame structure of a body of the passenger car extending, for example, behind vehicle occupant seats. On the one hand, the roof is held in position by a form-lockingly operating fixing system and, on the other hand, by a locking system, which locking system is operative between the roof and the vehicle body frame structure constructed as a rollover bar system. In order to advantageously fasten the roof by the fixing system and the locking system on the windshield frame and the rollover bar system respectively, the locking system has at least one locking device cooperating with the rollover bar system and including an operating device with a locking pin which engages in a closing crank.
