The strength of the connection between the rear pillar and the rear roof rail is an important factor in increasing the rigidity of the vehicle body. Conventionally, the plate thickness between the rear roof rail and the rear pillar inner connected to the rear roof rail must be increased or the rear roof rail must be increased. Although a reinforcing member that is connected to the rear pillar and the rear pillar inner is provided to improve the connection strength between the rear pillar and the rear roof rail, this causes a problem that the weight is increased and the number of assembling steps of the vehicle body is increased. It is an object of the present invention to provide a reinforcing structure capable of improving the bonding strength between the rear pillar and the rear roof rail without causing such a problem.
