Abstract
A removable roof is provided for a motor vehicle, particularly a passenger car, and covers an opening between a windshield frame and a body frame structure of a vehicle body extending, for example, behind vehicle occupant seats. The roof comprises a dimensionally stable material and cooperates by means of a form-lockingly operating fixing system with the windshield frame. For optimizing the connection of the roof with the windshield frame, the fixing system of the roof has a first fixing device and a second fixing device. The two fixing devices are arranged offset with respect to one another in the vertical direction of the vehicle by a distance measurement and are caused to engage by means of a movement of the roof in the driving direction.
