A roof panel attached to a roof of a vehicle so that the roof panel can be tilted up, and a wind lip provided in peripheral edge portion of the lower surface of the roof panel. The wind lip projects toward the inside of the vehicle. Further, a drain groove extending in up-and-down direction is formed on an outer surface of the wind lip.

Drain structure of roof panel

A drip molding supported by a pillar at a corner of the front or back of a vehicle, for draining waterdrops entering a side edge of a front or back windowpane. The drip molding has a base attached to the pillar; a part for sealing a gap between the base and the side edge; and a lip part extending from the base to the front surface of the windowpane to form a drainage path between the lip part and the windowpane. On the outside of the lip part, a bent surface is arranged so as to form an arc bending toward the front surface of the windowpane, and an inner face of the lip part is formed in a manner such that the larger a distance from the head toward the root of this part, the larger the distance between this inner face and the front surface of the windowpane.
