<p>A structure for a vehicle body upper portion, having sufficient rigidity, using a reduced number of parts, and capable of being assembled with reduced man-hours. A structure (15) for a vehicle body upper portion includes a roof rail (26) and a center pillar (27) which are connected together at respective ends thereof. The roof rail (26) is formed to have a closed cross-section by an upper member (31) and a lower member (32). An upper joint end section (45) of the upper member projects further toward the outside of the vehicle body than a lower joint end section (46) of the lower member. The center pillar (27) is formed to have a closed cross-section by an inner member (51) and an outer member (52). An outer joint end section (66) of the outer member extends up to the upper joint end section (45), and an inner joint end section (73) of the inner member extends up to the lower joint end section (46). The upper joint end section (45) is joined to the outer joint end section (66), the lower joint end section (46) is joined to the inner joint end section (73), and the closed cross-sections are connected to each other at the joint section (28) between each joint end section.</p> |
