Abstract
A roof panel is attached to a roof opening reinforcement that reinforces an area around an opening. The roof opening reinforcement has a rear side portion that extends in the lateral direction along the rear edge of the opening. The upper surface of the rear side portion of the roof opening reinforcement, or a roof panel opposed surface, extends along the lower surface of the roof panel. Extended reinforcements are disposed corresponding to the respective rear corners of the opening. The extended reinforcement extends toward the roof side rails as if forming an extension of the roof panel opposed surface, and is attached to the roof panel near where the roof panel is attached to the roof side rails.
