    Abstract: A drive cable for actuating a vehicle element which is movable with respect to a vehicle design, which can have a cable body having a flexible cable core which is wrapped with a spiral, which follows a helical line so as to become engaged with a gearwheel. At least three longitudinal ribs or crosspieces can be formed along the periphery of the cable body, said drive cable being able to support itself in a cable guide via said longitudinal ribs which form at least mostly continuous guiding lines and contact lines of the drive cable, each having the same distance all around to the cable axis. Alternatively, an elastically or plastically malleable cable jacket can be provided which engages over the cable core and the spiral and which forms a cylindrical and rib-free peripheral surface of the cable when the cable core is stretched.

    Abstract: A convertible vehicle top displaceable between closed and storage positions, and which has a top linkage, which, on both sides with respect to a vertical longitudinal center plane of the vehicle, may extend through a linkage exit opening of a vehicle trim when the top is in the closed position, each of the linkage exit openings on both sides being provided with a cover, the cover having a panel which can be displaced between a cover position, in which it covers the linkage exit opening, and an open position, in which the linkage exit opening is open. Each cover can have a guiding device, which guides the respective panel on a curved track in the direction of the vehicle front and outward in the transverse direction with respect to the vertical longitudinal center plane of the vehicle when the panel is displaced from the cover position into the open position.

    Abstract: An arrangement for a vehicle roof may have a roof element coupleable to a roof body of a motor vehicle and permits a view through the vehicle roof, and a safety device which is assigned to the roof element and which has a safety element and a drive means which is configured to move the safety element relative to the roof body and to transfer same from a first, retracted state, in which the safety element is stowed in a predetermined manner, into a second, extended state, in which the safety element covers a surface portion on a lower side of the roof element in a predetermined manner and opposes penetration of a body through the roof element. The safety device is designed as a darkening device and the safety element is designed as a darkening element, to selectively darken a vehicle interior of the motor vehicle.

    Abstract: A roof attachment for a passenger car includes at least one roof shell and at least two lateral-wall shells. The lateral-wall roof shells are arranged on opposite sides of the passenger car relative to a vertical longitudinal center plane of the roof and are pivotable between a storage position folded against an inner side of the roof shell and an unfolded usage position. The roof attachment has a cross section shaped like an upside-down U and can be attached onto interfaces of the passenger car via lower edges of the lateral-wall shells facing away from the roof shell. The roof shell and the lateral-wall shells can be brought into contact with a hard-top section and lateral pillars of the passenger car with their frontal edges when in the usage position. Rearward edges of the roof shell and the lateral-wall shells form a continuous edge of the vehicle rear.

    Abstract: A roller blind arrangement for a motor vehicle for shading a transparent vehicle section having a roller blind web which can be wound up to form a roller blind winding and is guided at its lateral edges in relation to a vertical longitudinal center plane of the roller blind in each case in a guide rail, as well as a drive device having a drive pinion which drives two driving means each of which is guided in a guide track of one of the guide rails. The driving means are each designed as a toothed belt which has an essentially rectangular cross section and comprises a toothing on at least one side, the teeth of said toothing extending at least approximately perpendicular to the plane of the unwound roller blind web between a lower side of the toothed belt and an upper side of the toothed belt.

    Abstract: A convertible top, having a linkage for displacing the top, a roof tip fixed to a front vehicle cowl in a closed position, a top lock which displacable between a locked and released position and secures the roof tip to the front cowl when the top is in the closed position and has a locking support having a pivotable locking hook and a locking counterpart which can be engaged with the locking hook, and a position detector which detects a relative position between the roof tip and the front cowl. The position detector has a sensor unit having at least two Hall-effect sensor elements, one of which switches at a first distance between the sensor unit and a magnetic element and the other one of which switches at a second distance between the sensor unit and the magnetic element, the second distance being different from the first distance.
