convertible top

Foldable car canopy

A convertible top is the retractable roof of a convertible car, typically made of fabric or vinyl that folds down to allow open-air driving.

The top may be operated manually or by an electric motor: Put the convertible top up—it looks like rain.

Some convertibles have rigid retractable hardtops instead of soft fabric ones.
