Abstract
A main roof panel of motor vehicle roof is bent to form a longitudinally extending groove on each lateral side of the main roof panel. An outer panel of each roof side rail is arranged to serve as a secondary roof panel which supplements the main roof panel, and is joined at the inner end portion thereof to the underside of the groove of the main roof panel. The joint portion between the outer panel of the roof side rail and the main roof panel is sealed by a sealant outside the groove thereby to provide improved sealing effectiveness.
