Abstract
A sunroof panel assembly comprises a sunroof panel made of a synthetic resinous material and a frame made of a thin steel sheet and covering the outer peripheral portion of the sunroof panel. The frame is bonded, at at least part of the inner peripheral edge portion provided with a welt, to the sunroof panel by a curable adhesive. The outer peripheral edge portion of the frame and the outer peripheral portion of the sunroof panel are laid one upon the other and at least partly held tightly together by a molding in such a way that the inner peripheral edge portion of the frame and the outer peripheral portion of the sunroof panel are slidingly movable relative to each other when there is a thermal expansion or contraction differential between the frame and the sunroof panel. The frame is also bonded at a portion between the inner and outer peripheral edge portions to the sunroof panel by a non-curable adhesive.
