Abstract: A vehicle roof structure includes a frame and a deflector device. The frame defines an opening portion opened and closed by a movable panel. The deflector device includes a deflector and a torsion spring. The frame includes a first spring support portion supporting a first arm of the torsion spring in such a way as to be movable in a front-rear direction. The deflector includes a second spring support portion supporting a coil portion and a second arm of the torsion spring, and a holding portion that can hold the first arm. The first spring support portion includes a guide surface. Under a condition that the holding portion holds the first arm, when the deflector rotates toward a retracted position, the first arm slides on the guide surface, and is thereby shifted to a state of being supported by the first spring support portion.

Abstract: A front shoe as a sliding member includes a pair of support walls facing each other in a vehicle width direction, and a fulcrum shaft disposed in a bridging manner between both support walls. A support bracket as a support member supporting a movable panel and integrally moving while being joined to the front shoe includes a joint block having an engagement portion for the fulcrum shaft and serving as a second joint portion joined to a first joint portion on the front shoe side. Further, the joint block is arranged between both support walls while being relatively rotatable about the fulcrum shaft. On the joint block, a cushion member interposed between the joint block and the support walls while being fixed thereto is disposed.

Abstract: A roof apparatus for a vehicle includes: a pair of guide rails that is disposed in each of both edge portions of an opening formed in a roof of a vehicle body in a width direction of a vehicle and extends in a front-and-rear direction of the vehicle; a frame that includes a main body portion disposed below the guide rails in an up-and-down direction of the vehicle and an extension portion extending in a width direction of the vehicle, and that is disposed so as to be bridged over the pair of guide rails; and a pair of brackets which is fixed to one of the frame and the pair of guide rails and is configured to come into contact with the other of the frame and the pair of guide rails, and in which the frame and the pair of guide rails are integrally formed.
