A seal member is attached to the tip of the top 15 and, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a guide piece 16 extending along its width direction is attached. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the guide piece 16 at the tip end of the hood 15 as viewed from the passenger compartment side, and the entirety thereof is made of, for example, a synthetic rubber material rich in elasticity. This guide piece 16
Is provided with a groove 17 having an opening facing downward so as to have a substantially inverted V-shaped cross section. The groove 17 receives an upwardly facing end face of the window glass W in the groove 17 as described later. Has become.

As shown in FIG. 6, a hook 16a curved upward is integrally formed outside the guide piece 16, and a hollow bulge 16b is formed at the lower end of the guide piece 16. It is formed integrally. The bulging portion 16b protrudes toward both ends in the width direction of the guide piece 16 as shown in FIG. 4, and its upper portion has a substantially wedge-shaped cross section so that the thickness gradually decreases upward. A sponge-like seal portion 16c is provided. Further, at both ends in the width direction inside the guide piece 16, a wall 1 is provided.
A lock hole 16f is formed in the wall 16e so as to be locked by a lock mechanism described later.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 2, an end surface of the side window glass SW facing upward is formed of an elastic synthetic resin material so as to have a substantially h-shaped cross section, and extends along the width direction of the side window glass SW. The extending molding member 20 is mounted by means such as bonding.

This embodiment is configured as described above.
Next, the operation will be described. The hood 15 is pulled out from the center roof portion 13 by driving the motor of the above-mentioned hood winding roll 14 or manually pulling the hook 16a of the guide piece 16 with fingers.

When the top 15 is extended, the top 15
As shown in FIG. 8 which is a sectional view taken along the line BB of FIG. 8, both side edges are between the lower surface of the front edge of the rear roof portion 12 and the weather strip W, and the lower surface of the rear edge of the front roof portion 11 and the weather strip. W (not shown), and travels in the vehicle width direction. When the hood 15 is pulled out until the hood 15 is extended so as to cover the entire side opening of the center roof portion 13, the guide piece 16 attached to the tip portion of the hood 15 becomes a groove 17 at the side edge of the roof portion.
Will be located downward.

Next, when the side window SW is pulled up as shown in FIG. 5, the upper end of the molding member 20 mounted on the end face facing upward is brought into contact with the guide piece 16.
Is inserted into the groove 17. 6 and 7 show a cross-sectional view taken along the line bb and aa, respectively, of FIG. According to these figures, the top end of the hood 15 and the top end of the side window SW are in liquid-tight contact with each other via the guide piece 16 and the molding member 20 based on their elasticity.

At this time, in particular, the bulging portion 1 of the guide piece 16
6b is in close contact with the gentle step portion of the molding member 20 as shown in the figure, and the hook 16a of the guide piece 16 has a curved surface that curves gently upward.
The rainwater that is going down along the top 15 is the hook 16a
And is drained along the width direction of the guide piece 16 and does not reach between the guide piece 16 and the side window SW, so that the sealing property at this location is further ensured. . The sponge-like seal portions 16c projecting from both ends in the width direction of the guide piece 16 are interposed between the edges of the front and rear roof portions 11 and 12 and the weather strip shown in FIG. Acts to ensure waterproofness of the part.

FIG. 9 shows the side window S with the top 15 extended.
