VEHICLE BODY UPPER STRUCTURE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To considerably improve the rigidity of a vehicle body.SOLUTION: A vehicle body upper structure including a connection part in which a rear end of a side rail extending in a front-rear direction and having a closed cross-section, a right or left outer end of a roof rail extending in a right-left direction and having a closed cross-section, and an upper end of a pillar extending in an up-down direction and having a closed cross-section are connected so that the mutual closed cross-sections are continuous, comprises a reinforcement member that extends vertically in the connection part to divide a closed cross-section of the connection part, and that connects a front side of the roof rail to a right or left outside of the pillar. 【課題】車体の剛性を飛躍的に向上させる。【解決手段】前後方向へ延び閉断面を有するサイドレールの後端と、左右方向へ延び閉断面を有するルーフレールの左右外端と、上下方向へ延び閉断面を有するピラーの上端と、が互いの閉断面が連続するよう接続された接続部を有する車体上部構造において、接続部内にて上下に延びて接続部の閉断面を分断し、ルーフレールの前側とピラーの左右外側とを接続する補強部材を備えた。【選択図】図２
