Moreover, although the sunshade device 20 provided in the front sunroof 11 has been described above, sunshade devices having the same configuration as this sunshade device 20 are also provided in the rear sunroofs 12 and 12, respectively.

(Effect of the invention) According to this invention, the sunshade is composed of a sunshade main body that is fitted into a ceiling opening, and an elastic light-shielding lip that protrudes from the outer edge of the sunshade main body, and the protruding end of this light-shielding lip is connected to the window opening. Since the weather strip is fitted between the weather strip attached to the opening edge of the window opening and the opening trim attached to the opening edge of the ceiling opening, firstly, the weather strip is inserted between the opening edge of the window opening and the ceiling opening and the outer edge of the sunshade. The gap between the two is reliably closed with the light-shielding lip. Therefore, when the sunshade is attached to the window glass, light is prevented from entering the vehicle interior through the gap, and reliable light shielding can be obtained.

Second, when attaching a sunshade to a window glass in order to obtain the above-mentioned light shielding, this operation requires the following steps:
It is required to fit the sunshade into the ceiling opening while pressing the light-shielding lip against the opening trim, but since the light-shielding lip is lip-shaped and has low elasticity, the above operation can be easily performed.

In addition, the lower surface of the outer edge of the sunshade main body,
Since the bottom surface of the base of the light-shielding lip is flush with each other, it is easier to use than simply providing a light-shielding lip.
The appearance of the sunshield from the passenger compartment side is maintained well.
