ABSTRACT:
A midship-type vehicle, with an engine mounted in a rear portion of a vehicle body, includes an openable and closable maintenance lid covering an upper portion of an engine room, and an openable and closable rear glass gate covering an upper portion of the maintenance lid. The maintenance lid includes a lower lid body and an upper cover, both of which are pivotally supported by a common pivot. A removable roof accommodating space is defined between the lid body and the cover. After opening the rear glass gate, only the cover is opened to conduct the removal and accommodation of the roof, or the lid body and the cover are opened simultaneously to conduct maintenance on the engine. Thus, it is possible to accommodate the roof, which has been removed from the vehicle body, without sacrificing any volume in a trunk or a passenger compartment.
