ABSTRACT:
A roof panel for vehicles is disclosed, which comprises a central portion, a side portion at an angle to the central portion, and a narrow flange all down the side portion at an angle to it for welding to a gutter of the vehicle, wherein a rear part of the side portion is indented inwards, towards the central line of the vehicle. This roof panel may be used either for the type of vehicle wherein the gutter extends all the way to the rear end of the side edge of the roof, in which case the roof panel is used as it is; or for the type of vehicle wherein the gutter extends only back to a point somewhat forward of the rear end of the side edge of the roof, in which case the part of the flange behind that point is cut away, and the indented part of the side portion is welded directly to the rear pillar of the vehicle. Thus roof panels for different versions of the same model of automobile may be formed on one die, with consequent improvements in working efficiency.
