Abstract (en)

[origin: US2005104418A1] To ensure a high quality appearance of vehicle bodies in the roof region, it is important for the convexity of a modular roof which is fitted into the vehicle body to be matched in the installed state with high precision to the convexity of the side struts of the body. In order to be able to ensure this high-precision matching-irrespective of the manufacturing tolerances of the modular roof and of the body-the modular roof is provided with a convexity which is too small-when measured against the fitted state-and is pressed in its front and rear end regions into the desired state of convexity during installation. This desired state of convexity is fixed in relation to the vehicle body by clamping elements.
