ABSTRACT:
A body structure of a motor vehicle having exterior panels at least one of which is made of synthetic resin is disclosed. The resin panel or panels are each fixed at one side thereof to a rigid member which provides the vehicle body with mechanical strength. Another side of the resin panel which faces the fixed side is retained in a slidable manner. An end portion of the slidable side of the resin panel is offset in the inward-outward direction of the vehicle body relative to an end portion of a nearby exterior panel. In this construction, thermal expansion of the resin panel is effectively accommodated.
