ABSTRACT:
A module construction employed in a car roof has a front unit including a plurality of functional components, a circuit board for electrical connection, and a first connector connected to the circuit board, a second connector associated with the first connector and resiliently supported on a roof body, and a bracket secured to the roof body. The bracket has both a hook engaged with an insertion hole provided in the front unit and a spring plate for resiliently supporting the first connector. The plurality of functional components may include an interior roof lamp, a lamp switch, an antenna, and a rear view mirror. The antenna may be arranged to overhang in an upper portion of a front glass of the car. The hook and the spring plate each are formed by bending to raise a part of the bracket. The second connector has a locking clamp engaged with the insertion hole of the roof body, the locking clamp being radially movable in the insertion hole. The hook has a locking portion and an inclined portion adjacent to the locking portion that engages with an outlet edge of the insertion hole of the front unit. In addition, the inclined portion serves as a reflector for an interior roof lamp.
