<p>A retractable roof has a roof member (2) including a front roof panel (21) and a back roof panel (22) and also has a link mechanism (4) for changing the position of the roof member (2) between a use position and a stowed position. The back roof panel (22) is joined to and supported by both the front roof panel (21) and a vehicle body-side member (42), and thereby the back roof panel (22) is caused to function as a first link of four-joint link constructed from first and second links.</p>
