ABSTRACT:
A tilt-up device tilts a rear end of a movable roof upwardly when the movable roof is moved from a normal position above the passenger's compartment of an automobile. The tilt-up device is mounted on a surface, which faces the passenger's compartment, of a fixed roof substantially centrally thereon in a transverse direction of the automobile body, and is positioned in front of a seal on the fixed roof. A trunk lid lifting and lowering device is mounted in a trunk and connected to an end of a trunk lid for selectively lifting the trunk lid away from a trunk and lowering the trunk lid toward the trunk. The trunk lid lifting and lowering device has a stopper device for inactivating the trunk lid lifting and lowering device when the trunk lid is locked by a lock device with the trunk lid lowered. The trunk lid has a roof storage region for storing the movable roof which has moved from the normal position, and a roof slide device having an engaging pin for entering a hole defined in the movable roof and opening at one end thereof. A device is mounted in the movable roof for connecting the engaging pin inserted in the hole to the movable roof to lift an end of the movable roof opposite to the hole.
