PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress the residual deformation or the like by thermal deformation. SOLUTION: This structure comprises a thermoplastic resin-made roof panel 5 having a deformation allowing wall 29 formed toward the lower side of a car body on the outer edge of a roof body 25 to allow the roof body 25-directional displacement in the thermal deformation of the roof body 25 and a connecting flange part 35 extending across the lower part of the deformation allowing wall 29 and having a mounting hole 33; a fixed flange part 39 provided on the outer edge part 37 of the metallic roof part 3 of the car body to mount the connecting flange part 35 thereon face to face, fasteners 41 and 42 for fastening the connecting flange part 35 to the fixed flange part 39 through the mounting hole 33 of the connecting flange part 35; and a resulting means 47 for preventing the connecting flange part 35 from being moved to the fixed flange part 39 and the fastener 41 by the displacing force of the deformation allowing wall 29.
