  • blind rivets or, preferably, blind rivet nuts come into consideration as blind rivet parts for this purpose.
  • a bead of the blind rivet part is preferably arranged inside a retaining clip formed as a hollow profile, whereby in the case of particularly simple embodiment variants of a convertible vehicle, the visual impression - viewed from an interior - is not impaired.
  • the risk of damage is reduced by over the cross section of the hollow profile protruding parts.
  • This compensating means is, for example, by means of a gauge accurately welded during installation on the body side, so that the fabric support under certain circumstances assumes a relation to the main bearing at least slightly offset position to compensate for stresses caused by manufacturing tolerances of the shell or the body, at least partially.
  • this compensating means is designed as a body-side fixed sleeve through which preferably a Blindnietteil can be connected to the headband.
  • the fastening device thus comprises parts of the retaining bracket and the body.
  • the determination of the top is further optimized by a plurality of compensation means, which are arranged along the retaining bracket, whereby a balance of tolerances around the headband is made possible and can be distributed evenly from Rohbautoleranzen unintentional top stresses.
  • the assembly of the convertible vehicle is further improved by a slotted guide, which allows movement of the retaining clip during assembly in its mounting position.
  • This slotted guide can be formed on the one hand by a trained by the headband backdrop, on the other hand by a rohbau possiblye backdrop, each with the corresponding, guided Gegenhalter-.
  • a particularly good fixing of the retaining clip is thus achieved by two laterally arranged scenes and arranged in a rear region of the retaining clip fastening means.
  • the fastening means of the headband is fixed in the longitudinal direction in the body, while the slotted guide fixed the headband sides and thus the headband at least in the vertical direction.
  • An excursion Forming the scenery as a T-slot profile in this case has the particular advantage that a body-side arranged counter-holder, preferably a T-slot bolt, can be arranged with its mushroom head in a cavity of the headband profile and thus fewer edges and corners within the Cabriolet Vehicle are present. This further reduces the risk of damage to the convertible vehicle due to open edges or the like.
  • the T-slot bolt moves in along the direction of movement along the direction of travel until the retaining bracket is fixed by the fastening means.
  • the assembly and maintenance of the convertible vehicle according to the invention is particularly improved if the fastening device with its fastening means is at least partially accessible through a coverable with a rear flap arranged cavity.
  • a fastening means in a trunk for example be arranged under a removable cover, whereby the attachment of the retaining clip with the boot lid open is particularly easy to solve or feasible.
  • the above-mentioned object is further achieved by a method for producing a convertible vehicle according to claim 1, wherein the headband is fastened on the body side during assembly of the convertible vehicle from an outer side in accordance with the above definition.
  • a vehicle provided with at least one slide guide is mounted with a plurality of balancing means, by least a part of the compensating means is positioned before fixing the top by means of an assembly jig and then fixed on the body side.
  • the headband and the body are connected to each other via the slotted guide, and then set the headband on the attachment means from the outside.
  • the headband is first advantageously pivoted to produce a connection via the slotted guide.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a convertible vehicle according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a partially broken view of a rear portion of another convertible vehicle according to the invention.
  • Fig. 3 shows the section III - III of FIG. 2 and
  • FIG. 4 shows the section IV - IV according to FIG. 2.

  • the top cloth is fastened via a fixed to a body 5 headband 6.
  • This mounting bracket 6 extends from above a wheel housing recess 7 arranged on the left side of the vehicle via a rear area to the right side of the vehicle body.
  • the inner side of the retaining clip 6 is arranged on the side of the passenger compartment or passenger compartment 3, while the portion of the outer side of the retaining bracket 6 shown in dashed lines in the figure faces outward.
  • the headband 6 is arranged directly in the vehicle interior 3 above a parcel shelf 8 and extends in the vehicle longitudinal direction left and right approximately up to the height of the rear seat headrests 9. Variants in which the headband 6 as in Fig. 1 in a non-visible from the passenger compartment 3 area is arranged below a parcel shelf 8, are also possible.
  • this comprises on its left and right side above the respective Radkastenaus traditions 7 a link 16 which is formed by a corresponding T-slot profile of the retaining clip (see FIG. 4).
  • the T-slot profile is shown as a visible profile in FIG. 2, it has a closed inner side in the detailed drawing according to FIG. 4.
  • a T-slot bolt 14 is provided, via which the headband 6 is initially movable in the longitudinal direction.
  • the headband 6 is fixed in the longitudinal direction.
  • the headband 6 is guided along the T-slot bolt 14 against the vehicle longitudinal direction in the gate 16 and sits securely on the body after attachment by the fastener in the lateral areas.
  • the determination of the retaining clip 6 thus takes place from the outside and from the trunk forth, which corresponds to a determination on one of the inner side of the retaining clip 6 side facing away.
  • the assembly of the convertible vehicle is thus improved in particular with respect to the variants in which a person located in the vehicle interior 3 has to screw the retaining clip 6 with the roof partially open.
