A roof structure consists of roof rail assembly and a roof assembly. The roof rail assembly is constituted by a pair of roof side rails of body side assemblies and front and rear roof rails interconnecting the roof side rails. The roof rail assembly has a plurality of joining surfaces which are nearly flush with and extend consecutively from each other. The roof assembly includes a roof panel and a joining surface at the periphery of the roof panel. The joining surface of the roof assembly is lapped on the joining surfaces of the roof rail assembly and is fastened to same with bolts and nuts while being bonded to same with a sealant adhesive interposed between the joining surface of the roof assembly and the joining surfaces of the roof rail assembly. Some of the bolts have head portions disposed outside of the roof panel and the roof side rail. A moulding is utilized to cover the head portions of the bolts. A sill cover and a rear fender outer are adapted to be fastened to the roof side rail simultaneously with the fastening of the roof side rail and the roof panel.

In a rust preventing wax treatment method which is applicable to automobile bodies already provided with a finish coat of paint, use is made of a wax which possesses not only thixotropy but also such a temperature-sensitive property that the viscosity of the wax decreases when heated and increases again when cooled near to room temperature. In the wax treatment method the wax and/or the article to be treated with the wax is heated and the wax, which is kept under action of a mechanical force to utilize its thixotropy, is applied to desired surfaces of the article. After that the waxed article is cooled near to room temperature. By this method the wax exhibits a very low viscosity when applied to the article and therefore can penetrate even into narrow spaces, and the applied wax soon solidifies as the waxed article is cooled. Therefore, a wax coating film of a sufficient thickness can be formed without suffering from dripping of the applied wax.
