Movable roof structure of a vehicle, method of providing the same and vehicle equipped therewith

A roof member RO comprises a front roof 4 and a rear roof 5 which are connected to each other, at least one of which is made of a board-shaped hard roof member. A grip 82 (i.e., an operational member) to be gripped by a passenger is provided at a specified position of the front roof 4 so as to transmit an opening-operational force or closing-operation force by the passenger to the roof member RO. A guide shaft 81 (i.e., a moving mechanism) is provided to position the grip 82 such that the grip 82 is movable relatively to the roof member RO. Accordingly, a movable roof structure of a vehicle which can properly improve the operation and handling and decrease the operational force with a simple and light mechanism can be provided.
