A vehicle roof of a convertible with at least one front roof part, a rear
roof part that is movable between a closed position over the vehicle
interior and an open position in which it is stowed in a rear stowage
space, and a rear window which is pivotably supported on the rear roof
part. In the open position in the stowage space, the window is raised
relative to the rear roof part. For improved actuation of the rear
window, a holding mechanism keeps the rear window in its closed position
on the rear roof part and when the rear roof part is being stowed,
releases the rear window to swing relative to the rear roof part. A
support is located in the stowage space and supports the rear window
while the rear roof part is lowered into its stowage position.
