ABSTRACT:
In a roof structure for a vehicle, a side outer member and a roof member are combined at their side portions to provide a groove extending over at least midway of a boundary between the side outer and roof members. Each of the side outer and roof members comprises has exposed and unexposed surface portions: each of the unexposed surface portions has an inward bend and a lower margin. The side outer and roof members are overlapped at their exposed surface portions to provide an overlap such that a corner defined by the exposed and unexposed surface portions of the roof member is substantially aligned with a corner defined by the exposed and unexposed surface portions of the side outer member. The unexposed surface portions of the side outer and roof members are diagonal toward a center of a roof in a widthwise direction of the roof as they are away from the corners. At least one of the inward bends and lower margins of the side outer and roof members has a lug for overlap to provide a partial overlap.
