A retractable roof has a roof member (2) including a front roof panel (21) and a back roof panel (22) and also has a link mechanism (4) for changing the position of the roof member (2) between a use position and a stowed position. The retractable roof further has adjustment mechanisms (51, 52) for adjusting the geometry of the link mechanism (4) in its use state by changing the angle, in the use state, of the direction of rotation of any one (44) of links in the link mechanism (4). L'invention concerne un toit ouvrant (2) comprenant un élément de toit avant (21); un élément de toit arrière (22); un mécanisme de liaison (4) pour faire passer la position du toit ouvrant (2) d'une position d'utilisation à une position repliée; et des mécanismes de réglage (51, 52) pour régler la géométrie du mécanisme de liaison (4) à l'état d'utilisation par changement de l'angle du sens de rotation de l'une quelconque (44) des liaisons du mécanisme de liaison (4).
