Abstract
The invention relates to a convertible vehicle () comprising a roof () which can be stored below a cover part () arranged below in the back of a vehicle. The cover part can be selectively opened in order to release a charging hole for luggage or to release an opening for the roof (). A first pivoting axis (), for said above-mentioned opening (), is arranged in the region of a rear sided closing edge of the cover part () and at least the lateral swinging arms () associated with at least the longitudinal sides of the vehicle are coupled to the cover part () by means of a joint connection. The convertible vehicle is configured in such a manner that tolerance compensation is provided in the cover part () and/or in the joint connection (). Said compensation results in a deviation of the trajectory of one part of the cover part () and/or the joint connection () of the circular trajectory (), at least during the pivoting of the cover part () in order to release the opening for the roof.
