A convertible roof actuation mechanism includes a pliable roof cover, a top stack mechanism supporting the roof cover, and at least one roof bow of the top stack mechanism independently movable relative to the remainder of the top stack mechanism for selectively reducing and increasing tension of the roof cover during latching. Another aspect of the present invention provides a single driving mechanism, for each side of the vehicle, to operate both the tension relieving roof bow and the top stack mechanism.
