ABSTRACT:
A roof structure for an automotive vehicle with a reinforcement for a roof panel is especially applicable for the vehicle having a sun-roof. Longitudinal reinforcement for the roof panel is provided by one or more pressed reinforcement ribs formed in the roof panel and extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. Each reinforcement rib has a front end located near the rear lateral edge of the sun-roof. A stiffener extends perpendicular to the axis of the reinforcement ribs and lies across the front ends of the reinforcement ribs for reinforcing the front ends at which bending stresses tend to concentrate.
