ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for forming a roof structure of a vehicle body comprises a set of front and rear roof panel members disposed to face each other with an opening between, and a pair of roof rail members disposed at both sides of the front and rear roof panel members to extend in a direction of the length of the vehicle body respectively and face each other with the opening between. The roof rail members include inner and outer panels connected together and a connecting flange which projects laterally toward the inside of the vehicle body. A frame member is disposed to engage partially with the front and rear roof panels and the roof rail members so as to form a loop surrounding the opening. The frame member is provided with outer portions thereof fixed on the outer panels of the roof rail members and inner portions, fixed and supported partially by the connecting flange, for securing a pair of guide rail members, each extending along the roof rail members. A foldable canvas top is provided along with a plurality of sliding members each engaging with the guide rail members provided on the frame member and disposed for selectively covering or uncovering the opening.
