Abstract
A load transmission portion which projects toward a roof rail outer panel is provided at a position between the roof rail outer panel and a roof rail inner panel which is located substantially at the same longitudinal-position as an upper end of a pillar outer panel. Accordingly, a center pillar can be properly restrained from coming into a vehicle compartment, restraining any improper increase of the number of components.
