ABSTRACT:
A sunroof device including a movable panel (13), a functional bracket (24) for supporting the movable panel (13), a guide rail (21), a shoe (30) for moving along the guide rail (21), a check member (31, 32) engageable with the shoe (30), a raising and lowering member (33, 34) for pivotally supporting the check member (31, 32), and an urging member (61) for urging the check member (31, 32). The check member (31, 32) and the shoe (30) are set in one of an engaged state, in which they are moved integrally, and a disengaged state, in which they are separated. The raising and lowering member moves the functional bracket upward or downward in cooperation with movement of the check member (31, 32) in the engaged state. The urging member (61) turns over the check member (31, 32) with an urging force to set the check member in the disengaged state.
