Abstract
An open roof structure for opening and closing a roof of a vehicle includes a pair of link members that support the roof such that the roof is movable forward and backward relative to the vehicle body, the link members being provided in spaced relation in a width direction of the vehicle body; and a link rod that connects the link members such that the link members rotate with rotation of the link rod. The need for a space for storing the roof is eliminated and the roof is opened and closed with a simple structure.
