Abstract:
1. An adjustable cover element in a vehicle, in particular a convertible vehicle, which is mounted to a vehicle component by means of a multiple linkage kinematic system comprising: two guide rods each of which on one end is coupled in an articulated manner to the vehicle component and on the other end is coupled in an articulated manner to the cover element; one of the guide rods for the multiple linkage kinematic system having a two-part design further comprising two guide rod sections connected by an articulated joint, the rotational motion of the articulated joint between the two guide rod sections being limited in one rotational direction by an articulated stop; wherein the relative angular position of the two guide rod sections with respect to one another is unchanged in a first phase of motion, and that a stop is provided which is located in the path of motion of the two-part guide rod, and which during a relative motion between the cover element and the stop acts on a guide rod section of the two-part guide rod in such a way that the angular position between the two guide rod sections changes in a second phase of motion.
