A convertible (sometimes called cabriolet in
British English) is a
car body style with a folding or retracting roof (aka 'soft top' or 'top' in USA, 'hood' in UK). The collapsible roof section is typically made from flexible
canvas or
vinyl over an articulated folding frame, although rigid
plastic,
aluminium, and
steel have occasionally been used in elaborate folding designs. Most modern vehicles have an electrical retraction mechanism. When the top is erected it is secured to the windshield frame header with automatic or manual latches.
