I do. At this time, the engaging portion provided at the front portion of the shade member is connected to the lid member side so as to slide together with the lid member. However, when it becomes necessary to remove the lid member or the shade member for some reason, since the connection between the shade member and the lid member is performed in the front, the rear end of the lid member must be tilted and work must be performed from there. However, there is a problem that workability is poor because the work is performed from outside the vehicle.

Further, since the drain member is assembled along the rear edge of the opening of the roof, it is necessary to allow the inner lid to pass under the drain member.
Because of that relationship, the inner lid is farther down than the opening of the roof and located at a lower position, so tilt the lid member,
When the rear end of the inner lid pops up, the rear end of the inner lid does not approach the opening of the roof, and a large gap is created between the rear end of the inner lid and the opening of the roof. Through the large gap, the mechanism for flipping up the slide block and the inner lid can be seen, resulting in a problem that the appearance is not good.

The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional problem. First, the front and rear sides of the lid on the side of the lid member are supported so as to be separated and independent from the substrate of the shade member, and Since the support of the inner lid can be displaced to the close position and the separated position via the urging means, the front edge portion of the inner lid and the substrate can be separated from each other, so that the removing operation can be performed therefrom. Second, the rear end of the inner lid is formed along the rear end of the lid member so that workability can be improved, and when the lid member is displaced to the tilt position, The gap between the rear end of the inner lid and the rear end of the lid member is prevented from expanding, and the slide block and the mechanism for flipping the inner lid are not visible through the gap, improving the appearance For the sunroof that can be And its object is to provide an Edo device.
