ABSTRACT:
A box-shaped structure is defined by an inner projection of a rear inner panel forming a side portion of a vehicle body and a roof rail outer member of a roof rail extending transversely of the vehicle body at an upper portion of a rear part of the roof rail. The box-shaped structure includes as bracing an outer projection of a rear pillar stiffener for reinforcing the rear inner panel and a stiffener projection of a hinge stiffener for reinforcing the roof rail outer member, which extend diagonally within the box-shaped structure to thereby divide the structure into a plurality of closed sections. A rear portion of the rear inner panel and the rear panel stiffener joint comprise a rear pillar. With the structure thus constructed, the connection between the rear pillar and the roof rail will be imparted increased stiffness against a twisting stress and against external stresses applied from the directions of the corners of the closed sections.
