ABSTRACT:
An automotive vehicle sunroof structure including a roof panel formed witha roof opening. The roof panel is reinforced by reinforcement members each of which is located near the roof opening. Each reinforcement member is disposed to connect the roof panel and a guide rail for a sunroof lid fittable within the roof opening. The reinforcement member is formed with a plurality of brackets each of which is formed by bending the tip end section of the reinforcement member. Each bracket extends inward of the vehicle and under the roof opening. The bracket is fixedly secured to the guide rail, so that the dimension of the roof opening in the direction of the vehicle width is enlarged thereby offseting the guide rail from the upward side of the passenger's head to the lateral side of the roof.
