ABSTRACT:
An open-top type vehicle roof structure is composed of a frame structure having left and right roof openings separated by a longitudinal center beam, and left and right removable roof lids closing the left and right openings and concealing the center beam under the roof surface. Front and rear latch plates are fixed to the underside of each latch plate near the inner end. The center beam is provided with front and rear receiving members each of which is fixed on the top of center beam, and formed with left and right latch holes for receiving the latch plates of the left and right lids. Each of the latch plates may be formed with an upward flange for preventing an undesired release of the lid by engaging with one of downward flanges of one receiving member, or may be formed with a rectangular corner cut for receiving the projecting end of the opposite latch plate.
