摘要

The panel has lateral arches (31, 32) extending parallel to advancement direction of a vehicle. The lateral arches support covering elements to be withdrawn from the lateral arches. Front and rear ends of each lateral arch are movable relative to the vehicle in direction that is transversal to the advancement direction of the vehicle, in order to allow the lateral arches to arrange closer to each other when the covering elements are released from the lateral arches. An independent claim is also included for a motor vehicle comprising a compartment for receiving covering elements.
