Collision energy absorbing structure of upper porition of automobile

With a one kind by an outer plate (30) and an inner plate (32) formed in an upper portion of a closed vehicle roof rail structure (20) extending along the vehicle body longitudinal vehicle impact energy absorbing device, which thickness containing a metal energy absorbing panel (22) and an inner resin garnish (24), said energy absorbing panel (22) is smaller than the outer plate (32) and an inner plate (30) has a thickness and located in the plate the amount of energy absorbed inside the longitudinal end portion (30) and spaced therefrom a distance of (D), the energy absorbing plate (22) is easily reduced, but a resin member (26, 28) can compensate for the above decrease amount.
