When the geared cable 63 is further driven in the same direction from this state, the first and second moving shoes 29 and 35, the lid 9 and the like move integrally into the rear storage space W. At this time, the rain gutter 65 abuts against and presses the rising protrusion 55, so that the shade 13 also slides backward together with the lid 9 to obtain a slide opening state in which the roof opening 7 is largely opened (see FIG. 5). ).

When the lid 9 in the stored state is pulled out to the fully closed position, the reverse operation to the above is performed, so that the lid 9 in the storage space W slides forward and slides at a predetermined distance. Then, the lid engagement body 17 engages with the shade engagement body 53. As a result, the shade 13 comes to be pulled out forward together with the lid 9 toward the fully closed position, and an automatic slide opening and slide fully closed state is obtained.

Further, when the lid 9 is in the fully closed state, the lid engagement body 17 is located away from the shade engagement body 53 as shown in FIG. 1, so that the shade 13 can be freely opened manually. it can.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7, when the shade 13 is manually moved slightly backward, when the lid 9 is tilted down without noticing it, the lid engagement body 17 becomes a shade engagement body. Although it comes into contact with the upper surface of 53, at this time, the lid engaging body 17 is not damaged because it rotates in the clockwise direction against the biasing spring 25 and escapes.

In this embodiment, the rain gutter 65 is used as a means for moving the shade 13 rearward by contacting the rising protrusion 55 of the shade 13, but a pressing body may be separately provided on the lid 9 side. You may
