A vehicle hood structure includes a hood outer panel and a hood inner panel that is disposed at a back surface of the hood outer panel. In vehicle hood structure, the hood inner panel includes an outer peripheral frame that is arranged in an outer peripheral portion of the hood inner panel, a proximate surface that is arranged inside from the outer peripheral frame and is joined to the back surface of the outer panel, and a connection vertical wall that connects an inner peripheral vertical wall configuring an inner periphery of the outer peripheral frame and the proximate surface.

A vehicle body side structure includes: a side sill extending in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle at a side bottom of the vehicle and having a recess sagging inward in a width direction of the vehicle; a door being hollow, having a door bottom portion disposed so as to overlap the side sill when seen from a side, and being arranged at an outer side of the side sill in the width direction; and a force transferring member having a projection protruding inward in the width direction, being disposed in a hollow interior of the door bottom portion, and being configured to transfer force acting inward in the width direction to the side sill.

Vehicle body side structure

A door member opener apparatus for a vehicle includes an engaging mechanism, a lock mechanism, a clearing mechanism, and an ECU (electronic control unit). The engaging mechanism includes a striker and a claw member that rotatively moves to engage with the striker. The engaging mechanism engages a tailgate with a car body. The lock mechanism regulates rotative movement of the claw member. The clearing mechanism clears the regulation of the rotative movement of the claw member when a handle member is operated. The ECU sets the amount of time before the lock mechanism can regulate the rotative movement of the claw member equal to a normal driving time.
