ABSTRACT:
A body structure of an automotive vehicle comprises a rear quarter panel outer, a rear skirt, and a patch. The patch joins the rear part of the rear quarter panel outer and a side part of the rear skirt. A sidewise extension planar portion is laterally extended from a side edge of the patch. A side end portion of the sidewise extension planar part is fixedly joined to the upper edge part of a recessed part of the rear quarter panel outer, in which a rear combination lamp is mounted. The sidewise extension planar portion and the upper part of the rear quarter panel outer form a closed sectional portion, which functions to improve the transmission of stress arising from a twisting of the vehicle body, thereby imparting rigidity to the rear end of the rear quarter panel outer.
