VEHICLE CONVERTIBLE TOP HAVING SAIL FLAP TENSIONER ABSTRACT A vehicle body convertible top (20) disclosed has a soft top whose sail flaps (36) are free to move with respect to the vehicle body and an associated foldable frame (22) but are connected to tensioners (40) that secure the sail flaps in the upper raised position of the convertible top.
