ABSTRACT:
A flange having a first flange close to a roof panel and a second flange close to a roof rail which are mutually overlapped with each other is disposed in a peripheral edge of an opening portion of a vehicle body. A peripheral edge of a window shield panel is bonded on the flange. A spacer inserting port open in both ends is provided between the first flange and the second flange. A first spacer has an inserting portion and a first engaging portion. The inserting portion is inserted into the spacer inserting port from one of the openings, whereby the first spacer is fixed to the flange and the first engaging portion projects over an outer surface of the flange. The second spacer is fixed to a peripheral edge of the window shield panel. The second spacer has a second engaging portion engageable with the first engaging portion. When the first and second engaging portions are mutually engaged with each other, the window shield panel is positioned with respect to the flange. Accordingly, a position that both the spacers are engaged is defined without being affected by a spring back due to a press molding of the flange. Therefore, an accuracy that the window shield panel is mounted is improved.
