The structure includes a detachable roof section (38), a front fixed roof section (32), a fastening device and a holding member (80). The fastening device includes a first engaging member (66) and a second engaging member (68) which assist in the alignment of the detachable roof section (38). The first engaging member (66) is secured to the detachable roof section (38) and located in the vicinity of an aperture (62) in the detachable roof section (38). The second engaging member (68) is selectively inserted into the aperture (62) of the detachable roof section (38) and selectively engages the first engaging member (66). The holding member (80) includes a first end and a second end. The first end of the holding member (80) is secured to the front roof section (32), and the second end of the holding member (80) is secured to the second engaging member (68). The holding member (80) retains the second engaging member (68) in a proper position when the second engaging member (68) is not engaging the first engaging member (66).
