ABSTRACT:
An object of the present invention is to provide an interlocking mechanism of panels of a guide rail for roof panel and a guide rail for sunshade panel even in a case where both guide rails are mutually different in curvature. The interlocking mechanism enables the sunshade panel to move independently in an opening direction in either case of opening and closing of the roof panel, and prevent the sunshade panel from moving independently in a closing direction relative to the roof panel. The interlocking mechanism comprises an engaging member provided in the roof panel and an engaged member provided in the sunshade panel to engage with the engaging member. The engaging member and the engaged member are constituted to engage with each other in an upper-and-lower direction such that a relative position thereof varies according to a change of positional deviation between the first guide rail and the second guide rail.
