A roof opening (60) in the outer roof panel (32) has forward and rearward edges and has side edges exposing the interior of the roof side rails (44) in which a pair of tracks (68) are respectively mounted. A sunroof (70) has side edges (72) respectively mounted by the pair of tracks within the side rails and is movable between a closed position closing the roof opening and an externally retracted position above the outer roof panel to the rear of the roof opening. The sunroof has the side edges (72) thereof in the closed position juxtaposed with respect to the upper window frames (52) of the side doors to provide a continuous door-to-door appearance. In the preferred construction, the sunroof (70) is made from metal or glass.
