Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A slide member to lock a roof member stored in a storage space by its rearward sliding and unlock the roof member by its forward sliding is provided. An operational member to rotate around a first rotational axis includes an operational portion to be operated from an inside of a vehicle compartment. A slide member slides longitudinally when a middle member rotates around a second rotational axis. The middle member is linked with the operational member such that it rotates in an opposite direction to a rotational direction of the operational member. The second rotational axis is located at a lower level than the first rotational axis such that the slide member slides forward to an unlock position when the middle member rotates according to an upward rotation of the operational portion.
