Abstract
In a roof panel connected to a vehicle body through at least a pair of left-hand and right-hand front pillars and a pair of left-hand and right-hand rear pillars, there is formed a roof opening (3) large in size in such a manner as leaving a front header, a pair of left-hand and right-hand roof side rails, and a rear header and being surrounded by said four members. A foldable or windable flexible top having a size as substantially large as the roof opening is provided. The flexible top is disposed to selectively take a first posture in which the roof opening is closed and a second posture in which it is contracted in a longitudinal direction of the body and placed in a contracted state, i.e., in a folded or wound state, at a position nearby said rear header. The flexible top in such a contracted state is guided by a guiding means and transferred between the second posture and a third posture located nearby a lower end portion of the rear window glass panel in a spaced relationship away from and without contact with the rear window glass panel and the rear pillars.
