PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance an effect of air removal by an air removal hole while securing performance of sealing a gap between a first panel and a second panel and joining strength between the panels.SOLUTION: In a panel joining structure S, an air removal bead 20 is formed in a joining flange part 12A of a first panel 10 and an air removal hole 26 is formed by the air removal bead 20 and a second panel 30, where the air removal bead 20 is inclined toward a direction of separating relative to the second panel 30 as approaching a base end side of the joining flange part 12A when viewed from a longitudinal direction of the first panel 10. This can seal a gap between the a tip of the air removal bead 20 and the second panel 30 preferably with a sealer 42, and further enlarge a cross section area of the base end side of the air removal hole 26 while suppressing a width dimension W of the air removal bead 20 from enlarging, so that an effect of air removal by the air removal hole 26 can be enhanced while securing joining strength in the joining part 18A.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】第１パネルと第２パネルとの間のシール性及び接合強度を確保しつつ、エア抜き孔によるエア抜き効果を高くする。【解決手段】パネルの接合構造Ｓでは、第１パネル１０の接合フランジ部１２Ａにエア抜きビード２０が形成されて、エア抜きビード２０及び第２パネル３０によってエア抜き孔２６が形成されている。ここで、エア抜きビード２０は、第１パネル１０の長手方向から見て、接合フランジ部１２Ａの基端側へ向かうに従い第２パネル３０に対して離間する方向へ傾斜されている。これにより、エア抜きビード２０の先端と第２パネル３０との間をシーラ４２で良好にシールすることができる。また、エア抜きビード２０の幅寸法Ｗが大きくなることを抑制しつつ、エア抜き孔２６の基端側の断面積を大きくできる。したがって、接合部１８Ａにおける接合強度を確保しつつ、エア抜き孔２６によるエア抜き効果を高くすることができる。【選択図】図１
