Abstract
A vehicle body structure such as a roof with a roof aperture surrounded by a frame, the latter defining, at least in the zone of the front edge and the lateral edges of the roof aperture, a gutter having a U-shaped cross-section, wherein the roof aperture can be closed by a sliding top as displaced via sliding blocks in guide tracks extending along the lateral edges of the roof aperture. According to a preferred embodiment, these guide tracks each have a vertical wall defining a side of the gutter that is located nearest the roof aperture that has the shape of an inverted U in cross-section, and a mounting strip is provided within a cavity of the inverted U-shape cross-section such that screws for attaching a cover (forming an upper wall of the guide track) are fastened to the top side of the vertical wall by extending therethrough into the holes in the mounting strip.
