Summary:To provide a sunroof device by which, without increasing the height of the front wall of a drain passage, splash of water droplet entering from a boundary part between an opening formed in the vehicle roof and a movable panel closing the opening, is prevented from entering a vehicle cabin.SOLUTION: A sunroof device comprises: a support bracket 24 having an engagement hole 26 and supporting a movable panel 12; a guide rail 13 provided along each edge, in the width direction of a vehicle, of an opening 10a; and a gutter member 30 having a drain passage 31 with a bottom wall 31a having an engagement projection part 35 and extending in the width direction of the vehicle and below a boundary part B, a front wall 31b and a rear wall 31c, the gutter member being supported such that each end in the width direction of the vehicle is freely moved in forward and backward directions and freely rotated around an axis extending in the width direction; and a link bar 40 that moves the engagement projection 35 within the engagement hole 26 such that the inclination angle θc, in front of and obliquely above the vehicle, of the drain passage 31 in a fully closed state is larger than that when the engagement projection 35 is maintained at a position in the engagement hole 26 in a tilt down state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】ドレイン通路の前壁を高くすることなく、車両のルーフに形成された開口及び該開口を閉塞する可動パネル間の境界部から浸入した水滴の飛沫の室内への浸入を抑制できるサンルーフ装置を提供する。【解決手段】係合穴２６が形成され可動パネル１２を支持する支持ブラケット２４と、開口１０ａの車両の幅方向各縁部に設けられたガイドレール１３と、係合突部３５が形成され境界部Ｂの下方で車両の幅方向に延在する底壁３１ａ、前壁３１ｂ及び後壁３１ｃを備えたドレイン通路３１を有し、車両の幅方向各端部が前後方向に移動自在に、且つ、幅方向に延びる軸線周りに回動自在に支持された樋部材３０と、全閉状態におけるドレイン通路３１の車両の前方斜め上方の傾斜角度θｃが、チルトダウン状態における係合穴２６内の位置を係合突部３５が維持しているときよりも大きくなるように係合穴２６内で係合突部３５を移動させるリンクバー４０とを備える。【選択図】図４
