[0048] The roof assembly disclosed in the present invention mainly includes a vehicle body roof cover 1. The main structure of the vehicle body roof cover 1 is similar to the existing structure. In the present invention, a top trim structure 2 or a luggage rack structure 3 is provided on the vehicle body roof cover 1. The roof assembly disclosed in the present invention limits the connection position of the luggage rack structure 3 or the top trim structure 2 with the vehicle body roof cover 1, so that the luggage rack structure 3 or the top trim structure 2 can be installed in the same position, which is convenient for the subsequent selection of whether the vehicle body roof cover 1 is assembled with the top trim structure 2 or the luggage rack structure 3 according to production requirements, thereby improving the selectivity of the roof assembly of the present invention.

[0049] It should be noted here that the connection position between the luggage rack structure 3 or the top trim structure 2 and the vehicle body roof cover 1 limited by the present invention does not require that the connection position between the luggage rack structure 3 or the top trim structure 2 and the vehicle body roof cover 1 be exactly the same. What the present invention requires is that multiple positions be the same; generally at least two installation positions are the same. If two installation positions are the same, the installation positions of the corresponding components can be limited, thereby realizing the installation and assembly of the luggage rack structure 3 or the top trim structure 2 on the vehicle body roof cover 1.

[0050] In order to ensure the stability of the connection between the corresponding components, other fixing structures can be added later.

[0051] Furthermore, the vehicle body roof 1 in the present invention includes a roof body 11, which is the main structure of the middle area of ​​the vehicle body roof 1, and a supporting flange 12 is provided at the edge of the roof body 11 in the present invention; the supporting flange 12 is a lap flange, which is convenient for the subsequent lap installation of the vehicle body roof 1 with the vehicle body and adjacent components, and at the same time, the upper end surface of the supporting flange 12 and the upper end surface of the roof body 11 in the present invention are staggered; the top trim structure 2 or the luggage rack structure 3 is connected to the supporting flange 12 and pressed against the side of the top cover body 11; such an arrangement forms a sink structure around the vehicle body roof 1, and when the top trim structure 2 is set, the flatness of the roof can be guaranteed, and at the same time, the side of the top cover body 11 can be used to limit and position the side of the luggage rack structure 3 or the top trim structure 2.

[0052] Furthermore, in the present invention, a snap-in flange 13 is provided on the side of the support flange 12 away from the top cover body 11; a snap-in flange 13 is provided at both ends of the support flange 12; in the present invention, the snap-in flange 13 has one function of ensuring the structural strength of the end of the support flange 12, and another function of playing a role of limiting and positioning, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the installation of the top trim structure 2 or the luggage rack structure 3 on the whole vehicle.

[0053] Furthermore, in the present invention, the roof trim structure 2 includes a roof trim body 21 , and the roof trim body 21 is an exterior trim component, which is mainly used to ensure the aesthetics of the roof.
