(Effects of the invention) The effects of this invention are as follows. That is, when the window opening is opened by moving the window glass, the wind flowing along the outer surface of the vehicle body tends to flow into the cabin through the opened window opening.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the opening edge of the window opening extends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, and is bent so that the front part is located inward in the vehicle width direction, while the rear part is located outward in the vehicle width direction. On the other hand, the front end side of the windshield is fitted into the guide rail so as to be rotatable about the vertical axis and slidable back and forth, and a rotating arm is provided at the front and rear midway points of the windshield. The rotating arm is pivoted so as to be rotatable in the vehicle width direction, and the rotating end of the rotating arm is fitted into the guide rail so as to be slidable back and forth, allowing the windshield to be moved rearward from the state where the window opening is closed. When the window opening is opened, the rotating end of the rotating arm slides along the bent portion of the guide rail, and the sliding on this bent portion causes the rotating arm to rotate and open the window glass. The front end of the windshield enters inward from the outer surface of the vehicle body, and the rear end of the windshield protrudes outward from the outer surface of the vehicle body, so that the wind flowing into the vehicle interior is absorbed by the windshield. It is guided by the outer surface of the vehicle and flows smoothly toward the outer surface of the vehicle body behind the window opening. Therefore, this wind is prevented from colliding with the rear opening edge of the window opening or the front edge of the windshield, which can be heard, thereby preventing wind noise from occurring and minimizing air resistance when driving. .
