ABSTRACT:
A front roof rail is connected at an end portion to a trifurcated joint member which is in turn connected to a roof side rail inner and a front pillar inner. A bucking guide is provided to the front roof rail so that the front roof rail is liable to buckle in the place spaced away from the end portion toward a central portion when an external force is applied to a front corner portion of a roof in case of an accident as overturn of a vehicle. The buckling guide is constituted by a reinforcement member secured to the front roof rail or by a bead formed in the front roof rail.
