Patent ID: 8152217

Claim:
A roof operating device comprising: a roof member operated to be extended so as to cover a top portion of a vehicle body and operated to be stored inside the vehicle body; a lid operated to be opened when the roof member is operated so as to be stored; the lid operated to be closed when the roof member is operated so as to be extended; an operation switch provided at the vehicle body and operated in order to operate the roof member and the lid; actuators driving the roof member and the lid; a first closer mechanism provided at a first position so as to connect the vehicle body and the lid and operated for moving the lid so as to be in a fully closed state; a second closer mechanism provided at a second position so as to connect the vehicle body and the lid and operated for moving the lid so as to be in a fully closed state; and each of the first and second closer mechanisms including a striker provided at one of the vehicle body and the lid, a latch provided at the other of the vehicle body and the lid, a half latched state detection portion for detecting a half latched state between the latch being actuated by the actuator and the striker, and a synchronous operating mechanism synchronously operating the first and second closer mechanisms, wherein after the half latched state detection portions provided at the first and second closer mechanisms detect the half latched state, and the operation switch is continuously operated, the synchronous operation mechanism operates the first and second closer mechanisms synchronously in order to move the lid to a fully closed state.
