The whole roof package is now moved by the
hydraulic cylinders in the main hinge towards the
boot. A mechanical coupling swings the roof side
members outwards with this movement so that the
roof side members can pass the roof side member
flaps and fit into the space provided on the left-hand
and right-hand side of the car.
The spreading movement of the roof side members
is achieved with a gate that is connected to the main
arm of the main drive via a lever system. If the main
drive swings towards the boot to store the roof
package there, the gate in the roof side member is
pulled to the rear. This pushes the roof side member
outwards.
If the roof package is raised out of the boot to close
the roof, the gate is pushed to the front again inside
the roof side member by the lever system. This
movement swings the roof side members towards the
inside again so that the roof side members can dock
onto the A-pillars.
