摘要

The device has an actuator (35) that is disposed and acting in a median vertical longitudinal plane (30), through movement of its rod. The actuator is connected to at least one roof panel (15b) for toppling the panel. The actuator is situated between two seats at level of backrest of the seats. The rod is connected in an articulated manner to an intermediate driving tube (49) that is directly connected to the panel. An independent claim is also included for a convertible vehicle with roof movable between closed and open positions.
