The back door roof portion includes a storage projection, which projects upward from an upper surface of the back door roof portion. The damper stay includes a first end, which is connected to the roof at a position rearward of the hinge, and a second end, which is connected to an inner wall of the storage projection. When the back door is closed, the damper stay is stored in the storage projection.
