Abstract
A sunroof device includes a panel bracket that holds a movable panel capable of opening and closing an opening portion disposed to a roof panel, a guide portion that is disposed to the panel bracket, and a sliding bracket that slidably engages with the guide portion. Further, the sunroof device includes a rear link, serving as a support member, that, while being coupled to the panel bracket via the sliding bracket and thereby changing a coupling position thereof with the panel bracket according to an opening-and-closing movement position of the movable panel, supports the panel bracket. On a sliding contact surface of the panel bracket with the guide portion of the panel bracket, a plurality of groove portions extending in a sliding direction of the sliding bracket along the guide portion are disposed.
