Abstract
A vehicle upper body structure includes a roof panel, a roof arch that extends across the roof panel in a vehicle width direction and that is joined to a lower surface of the roof panel, and a roof antenna disposed on an upper surface of the roof panel. The roof arch includes a first roof arch and a second roof arch disposed in front of the first roof arch. An antenna bracket that allows the roof antenna to be mounted thereon extends frontward from a midpoint of the first roof arch in the vehicle width direction or a vicinity of the midpoint. The antenna bracket supports the roof panel, and the second roof arch is disposed so that as viewed from above the vehicle body, at least part of the second roof arch extends between right and left rear pillars.
