  Further, when the glass run channel 30 is attached to the glass run mounting groove 9, a part of the window frame 3 inside the vehicle, that is, the inner panel 5b is formed by the holding lip 36 and the vehicle interior side wall 38 as shown in the figure. And the inner flange 18 of the sash member. Thereby, the glass run channel 30 can be hold | maintained in a predetermined position more firmly. Further, as shown in the figure, the tip of the inner peripheral side of the outer panel 5a can be shielded by the protruding lip 33, so that the window frame 3 and its surrounding aesthetics are exposed by the exposure of the tip of the outer peripheral side of the outer panel 5a. It can be prevented from being damaged.

The base 31 of the glass run channel 30 is made of an elastic polymer material (rubber such as EPDM, thermoplastic elastomer, synthetic resin material, etc.). Preferable elastic polymer materials include, for example, vulcanized non-foamed soft rubber (solid rubber) or non-foamed thermoplastic elastomer (for example, olefin-based, styrene-based, vinyl-based) mainly composed of EPDM. The solid rubber is particularly preferably used.
Moreover, it is preferable that the vehicle inner side wall portion 38 and the vehicle outer side wall portion 32 are made of an elastic polymer material that can be favorably displaced and can be satisfactorily restored to its original shape. For example, it is particularly preferable that the base portion 31 is made of vulcanized rubber or thermoplastic elastomer mainly composed of the same EPDM. EPDM vulcanized rubber is a particularly preferred elastic polymer material because of its excellent durability and weather resistance. This embodiment is formed of EPDM vulcanized rubber.
The glass run channel 30 may be entirely formed of the same molding material (elastic polymer material), or a different polymer material may be used for each part. When two or more kinds of molding materials are used, a desired glass run channel can be formed by a so-called coextrusion molding method. In addition, since the extrusion molding method (coextrusion molding method) itself does not characterize the present invention, detailed description thereof is omitted.

Next, the lacking part 100 characterizing the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, at the lower part of the window frame 3 (rear frame part 5) (that is, the part adjacent to the panel body upper edge part 2a), the window opening 8 is provided outside a part of the inward part of the vehicle exterior part. The lacking portion 100 extending in the direction (here, the rear direction of the door) is formed by a predetermined length in the longitudinal direction of the window frame 3 (in this embodiment, about one third of the length of the rear frame portion 5 in the vertical direction). Has been. Specifically, the outer panel 5a is cut out outward from the bottom wall portion 11 to the rear so that the bottom wall portion 11 of the sash member 10 is exposed at the portion in the lacking portion 100 (described later). (See FIG. 10).
Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the vehicle-side flange 12 of the sash member 10 corresponding to the missing portion 100 is similarly cut out outward. Specifically, the notch region in the lacking portion 100 of the outer flange 12 includes a lower notch edge 104 that is notched horizontally along the upper edge 2a of the panel body 2, and A straight notch edge 103 is formed by vertically notching along the end of the bottom wall portion 11 on the vehicle outer side so as to remove substantially the entire outer flange 12 from the lower notch edge 104 upward. And an arc-shaped notch edge in which the remaining portion in the height direction from the bottom wall portion 11 of the outer flange 12 gradually increases from the upper end of the linear notch edge 103 and is cut out so as to draw an arc. 102.

  As described above, in the missing portion 100, the outer panel 5a of the window frame (rear frame portion 5) and the vehicle outer flange 12 of the sash member 10 are both cut away. The glass run channel 30 (particularly, the vehicle outer side wall portion 32) in the state of being attached to can be exposed. Thus, by appropriately using a mounting aid described later, the tip of the vehicle outer side wall 32 is displaced outwardly in a rotational manner beyond the original position (the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 10). Along with this displacement, an enlarged opening 110 having an opening larger than the shape of the groove 40 in a state in which the U-shape at the normal time is maintained can be formed in the portion corresponding to the lacking portion of the glass run channel 30 (that is, the exposed portion). .

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the notch edge according to the present embodiment is constituted by the arc-like notch edge 102, the linear notch portion 103, and the lower end notch edge 104 described above, and has sharp projecting corners. There is no portion (typically an acute corner). Due to the absence of such corners on the entire circumference of the outer peripheral edge (notch edge) of the missing part (particularly the boundary between the arc-shaped notch edge 102 which is the upper end of the missing part 100 and the upper edge of the vehicle outer flange 12), As will be described later, when the front end of the vehicle outer side wall portion 32 is displaced outwardly beyond the original position, a sharp corner hits and the vehicle outer side wall portion 32 is damaged (for example, a hole is formed). ) Can be prevented in advance.

The glass run product 20 according to the present embodiment includes a mounting aid in a portion corresponding to the lacking portion of the rear glass run channel 30 (that is, an exposed portion). FIG. 4 is a plan view schematically showing the mounting aid 50 according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VV in FIG. 4 (that is, a vertical cross-sectional view at the center line).
The mounting aid 50 having the following configuration is preferably molded from a material such as an elastically deformable metal or a synthetic resin material that is harder and more rigid than the elastic polymer material constituting the glass run channel 30. Suitable molding materials include metal materials such as springs and steel plates, or synthetic resin materials such as POM (polyoxymethylene), PC (polycarbonate), and PP (polypropylene). The mounting aid 50 having the above-described structure can be suitably manufactured by metal press molding or injection molding using POM or the like. In addition, since the shaping | molding method itself of a mounting aid does not characterize this invention, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the mounting aid 50 has a clip shape that can be detachably sandwiched by sandwiching the vehicle outer side wall portion 32 of the glass run channel 30 exposed at the lack portion 100 from both the inside and outside. The auxiliary tool 50 is formed. As shown in the figure, the auxiliary tool 50 has a basic shape as a clip, and roughly includes an operation unit 51 and a clamping unit 60.

  The operation unit 51 is a part that an operator grips and operates with a hand, and includes a gripping part (handle part) 52 that protrudes from a connecting part 61, which will be described later, and both lateral directions (when mounted on a glass run channel). , And a projecting portion 54 projecting in the longitudinal direction). A through-hole (pointer hole) 53 is formed in the center of the grip 52 so that one finger of the operator can be inserted. Further, a finger hanging recess 54 a is formed at the edge of the overhanging portion 54 on the holding portion side. As a result of the operation part 51 being formed in such a shape, the operator can hold the auxiliary tool by grasping the overhanging part 54 while passing the middle finger through the pointing hole 53 of the holding part 52. At this time, the index finger and the ring finger of the clasped hand are placed in the finger hanging recesses 54 a of the overhanging portion 54, thereby preventing the wearing aid 50 from being displaced together with the middle finger inserted into the pointing hole 53, and reliably The tool 50 can be held and a predetermined operation can be performed.

As shown in the figure, the holding portion 60 of the mounting aid is based on a connecting portion 61 that extends in a direction perpendicular to the gripping portion extending direction (hereinafter simply referred to as “lateral direction”) at the base of the handle portion 52. Holding pieces facing each other (that is, a portion for holding an object to be sandwiched from both sides) are formed by extending from the connecting portion 61 in the direction opposite to the gripping portion 52.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, a wide central holding piece 65 (hereinafter referred to as “outside of the vehicle outer side wall portion 32 when attached to the glass run channel” is provided at the central portion of the connecting portion 61. An inner holding piece (hereinafter referred to as a “left inner holding piece 62” and a “right inner side”) that is opposed to both sides (both lateral directions) of the outer holding piece 65. Each of the holding pieces 63 ”is formed.

As shown in FIG. 5, the left inner holding piece 62 and the right inner holding piece 63 have a wide space 68 (glass run channel holding space 68) between the holding pieces 62 and 63 and the outer holding piece 65 facing the holding pieces 62 and 63. The protrusion lip 33 and the seal lip 34 are formed so as to form an arc in a hemispherical shape (dome) so as not to cause plastic deformation. On the other hand, a concave portion 69 is formed on the left and right inner holding piece facing surface near the base of the outer holding piece 65 so that the distance from the left and right inner holding pieces 62 and 63 is increased.
Due to the shape of the left inner holding piece 62 and the right inner holding piece 63 and the outer holding piece 65 as described above, a holding space suitable for holding the vehicle outer side wall portion 32 of the glass run channel 30 and not causing the plastic deformation. 68 is defined. Then, as a result of the holding pieces 62, 63, 65 having such a structure being formed from the hard and rigid elastically deformable metal or synthetic resin material (for example, POM), the left and right inner holding pieces 62, 63 facing each other are formed. And the outer holding piece 65 can be opened and closed elastically.

As shown in the drawing, the front end portions 62b and 63b of the left and right inner holding pieces 62 and 63 are formed to warp outward (that is, in the outward direction away from the opposing outer holding pieces). Similarly, the front end portion 65b of the outer holding piece 65 is also formed to warp outward (that is, in an outward direction away from the opposed inner holding piece).
Further, on the surface of the outer holding piece 65 facing the left and right inner holding pieces 62 and 63, several (two in the present embodiment) protrusions 65a having sharp tips are formed. Similarly, on the surface of the left and right inner holding pieces 62, 63 facing the outer holding piece 65, several protrusions 62a, 63a (points of one in this embodiment) with sharp tips are formed.

On the surface opposite to the left and right inner holding piece facing surfaces of the outer holding piece 65, the locking piece 66 is formed in a state bent from the vicinity of the distal end portion 65b toward the grip portion 52.
In addition, an opening 67 is provided in the central portion of the outer holding piece 65, which contributes to weight reduction of the auxiliary tool 50 and ease of mold opening during molding (for example, by injection molding).

Next, a method for mounting the window plate 7 to the glass run channel (assembly) using the mounting aid 50 having the above structure will be described in detail.
First, the mounting aid 50 is mounted on the vehicle outer side wall portion 32 of the glass run channel 30 exposed at the lacking portion 100. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the outer side wall portion 32 is inserted from the front end between the front end portions 62 b and 63 b of the left and right inner holding pieces 62 and 63 and the front end portion 65 b of the outer holding piece 65. To go. At this time, the left and right inner holding pieces 62 and 63 are on the vehicle outer seal lip 34 side and the outer holding piece 65 is on the vehicle outer protrusion lip 33 side so that the shape of the holding space 68 and the outer shape of the vehicle outer side wall portion 32 coincide. Perform the installation work in the orientation.
Here, as described above, the space between the left and right inner holding pieces 62 and 63 and the outer holding piece 65 can be elastically expanded. Furthermore, the front end portions 62 b and 63 b of the left and right inner holding pieces 62 and 63 that are warped outward and the front end portion 65 b of the outer holding piece 65 are provided. As a result, when the vehicle outer side wall 32 is inserted and clamped into the mounting aid 50, it functions as a guide, and the vehicle outer side wall 32 can be easily positioned at the center of the left and right inner holding pieces 62, 63 and the outer holding piece 65. . Furthermore, if it inserts in a mounting assistance tool, the inner side holding pieces 62 and 63 and the outer side holding piece 65 will elastically deform, and between both pieces will expand and insertion will be performed. For this reason, according to this mounting | wearing auxiliary tool 50, the vehicle outer side wall part 32 can be easily inserted in the clamping space 68. FIG.

By the above insertion, the mounting of the mounting aid 50 on the vehicle outer side wall portion 32 is completed. The state at this time is schematically shown in FIGS.
That is, as shown in FIG. 7, as a result of the insertion, the mounting tool 50 can sandwich the vehicle outer side wall portion 32 from both the inner and outer sides at the portion corresponding to the lacking portion 100 of the glass run channel 30. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8, the outer seal lip 34 is disposed along the wall surfaces of the left and right inner holding pieces 62 and 63 formed in an arc shape in the holding space 68 near the left and right inner holding pieces 62 and 63. The front end of the vehicle outer side seal lip 34 is in contact with and locked to a part of the inner holding pieces 62 and 63. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the protruding lip 33 is disposed in the concave portion 69 near the outer holding piece 65, and the tip of the protruding lip 33 contacts a part of the outer holding piece 65 (side wall of the concave portion 69). It touches and is locked.
As a result of the arrangement configuration of the vehicle outer side wall portion 32 in the sandwiching space 68 (including the recess 69), the operator does not perform a predetermined operation (that is, an operation for expanding the holding pieces 62, 63, 65). As long as the mounting aid 50 does not unintentionally deviate from the predetermined mounting position (state shown in FIG. 7).
7 to 9, the left and right inner holding pieces 62, 63 and the outer holding piece 65 are pressed against the vehicle outer side wall portion 32 by elastic force, respectively, and in this state, the sharp protrusion 62a. , 63a, 65a bite into the contact portion of the vehicle outer side wall 32 (FIGS. 8 and 9). As a result of such a configuration, the mounting aid 50 not only prevents unintentional detachment from the predetermined mounting position (the state shown in FIG. 7) but also prevents displacement of the glass run channel in the longitudinal direction. it can. Therefore, the displacement operation described later can be performed stably and efficiently.
Next, a method for forming an enlarged opening and a method for maintaining the same will be described with reference to FIG.

  The operator grasps the grip portion 52 of the mounting aid 50 (FIGS. 7 to 9) attached to the vehicle outer side wall portion 32 of the glass run channel 30 corresponding to the lacking portion 100 as described above, and moves the vehicle together with the aid. The outer side wall portion 32 is opened so as to be turned to the outer panel 5a side. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, at the beginning of mounting, the auxiliary tool 50 is moved outward by holding the grip portion 52 that is arranged inward (that is, in the direction of the window opening 8), so The tip of 32 is displaced outward (in the OP direction of the arrow in FIG. 10) in a rotational manner beyond the original position. At this time, the mounting aid 50 is formed so that the gripping portion 52 protrudes in a substantially extending direction of the protruding direction of the vehicle outer side wall portion 32 when mounted at a predetermined position of the vehicle outer side wall portion 32. Therefore, the outer side wall portion 32 can be easily moved with the grip portion 52.

As shown in the drawing, an enlarged opening 110 having an opening larger than the U-shaped groove shape (see FIG. 2) in a normal state is formed in the portion corresponding to the lacking portion of the glass run channel 30 with this displacement. . In the present embodiment, the vehicle exterior side wall 32 is displaced outwardly in a rotational manner to a position where at least the tip of the vehicle exterior side wall 32 exceeds the base 31 (a position indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 10).
Then, as shown in FIG. 10, the tip of the locking piece 66 of the mounting aid 50 is engaged with an inner peripheral edge (hereinafter referred to as “notch edge”) 115 in the lacking portion 100 of the outer panel 5 a. Specifically, even when the tapered tip 66a of the locking piece 66 hits the notch edge 115 of the outer panel 5a, the rotational displacement continues (that is, the stress from the operator continues to be applied), thereby the locking piece 66. The taper tip 66a moves to the notch edge 115 while sliding along the notch edge 115, and the bend is eliminated by the elastic force, and the locking piece 66 returns to its original shape. . As a result, as shown in the drawing, the engagement is realized so that the tapered tip portion 66a is no longer separated from the notch (the lacking portion 100). Accordingly, even when the operator does not apply any force (typically, a state where the hand is released from the mounting aid 50), the formation state of the enlarged opening 110 shown in FIG. 10 can be maintained.
Even when the enlarged opening 110 is formed and maintained, the inner panel 5b and the inner flange 18 of the sash member 10 are placed between the inner side wall 38 and the holding lip 36 as shown in the figure. Since the glass run channel 30 is supported by being sandwiched, the entire glass run channel 30 can be prevented from being displaced, and the mounting state of the glass run channel 30 is not affected.

The glass run in which the window plate 7 (here, a rectangular window glass corresponding to a substantially rectangular window frame) is attached to the window frame 3 through the window opening 8 while the enlarged opening 110 is maintained. Install in the groove of the channel (glass run channel assembly). The details are as follows.
As shown in FIG. 1, when the glass run channel 30 attached to the window frame is in a normal state (free state) without being expanded, the base portion (not shown) of the front glass run channel 22 shown in FIG. ) And the base portion 31 of the rear glass run channel 30: LC, the horizontal width of the window plate 7: LW, and the front end of the vehicle outer side wall portion (not shown) of the front glass run channel 22. The length: LS between the portion (free end portion) and the tip end portion (free end portion) of the outer side wall portion 32 of the rear glass run channel 30 has a relationship of “LS <LW≈LC”. Further, as shown in FIG. 10, LC has a relationship of LC = LS + 2 × H (where H is a length from the base portion to the vehicle outer side seal lip). Therefore, when the enlarged opening 110 is not provided, the window plate 7 cannot be inserted (attached) into the groove 40 of the glass run channel due to the relationship of LS <LW.

  However, since the enlarged opening 110 is formed on one side of the window frame (here, the rear frame 5), the window plate 7 can be used from the outside of the vehicle by using the enlarged opening 110 without being restricted by the above length relationship. Then, it can be introduced into the window opening 8 while being tilted in a desired direction, and can be mounted in the groove 40 of the glass run channels 22 and 30 attached to the window frame 3. Specifically, the window plate 7 is placed in the groove of the front glass run channel 22 located at the edge of the front frame portion 4 facing the edge of the rear frame portion 5 where the lacking portion 100 is formed through the window opening 8. The other edge of the window plate 7 is inserted into the groove 40 of the rear glass run channel 30 through the enlarged opening 110. At this time, as a result of the enlarged opening 110 being formed, it is possible to prevent the vehicle outer side wall portion 32 from being caught in the vehicle inner side in the lacking portion 100 when the window plate 7 is mounted, and to insert the window plate efficiently and easily. . Next, the window plate 7 is gradually moved downward along the grooves 40 of the glass run channels 22, 30, and engaged with a window plate holding portion of a window regulator (not shown) provided in the door panel 1 and fixed. To do. This completes the installation of the window plate.

After the installation of the window plate 7 is completed, the operator holds the grip portion 52 of the mounting aid 50 and releases the lock. That is, the operator bends the locking piece 66 by moving the auxiliary tool 50 inward in the CL direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 10, and further moves the auxiliary tool 50 inward to lock the locking piece 66. The engagement between the tapered tip 66a of 66 and the notch edge 115 of the outer panel 5a can be released.
Then, by expanding the space between the left and right inner holding pieces 62 and 63 and the outer holding piece 65, the mounting aid 50 is removed from the vehicle outer side wall portion 32. Thereby, the vehicle outer side wall portion 32 made of vulcanized rubber mainly composed of EPDM can be satisfactorily returned to the original shape (position indicated by a solid line in FIG. 10).

As mentioned above, although the window plate mounting method concerning this embodiment was explained in detail, it is not restricted to this form.
For example, as a post-process for attaching the window plate, a portion (that is, an exposed portion) disposed in the lacking portion 100 in the side wall portion 32 of the glass run channel 30 is supported from the outside of the vehicle, and the displacement of the portion to the outside of the vehicle is prevented. You may attach the support member to prevent in the vehicle outer side of the lack part 100. FIG.
Or you may attach the shielding member which covers the lack part 100 from the vehicle outer side to the window frame 3 as a post process of window board mounting | wearing.
For example, a separate cover member 120 shown in FIG. 1 may be attached to the surface of the outer panel 5 a of the rear frame portion 5. Specifically, the locking piece 124 of the cover member 120 is locked to the notch edge 115 of the outer panel 5a in the lacking part 100, and the cover hole 116 is provided in the mounting hole 116 provided on the surface of the outer panel 5a of the rear frame part 5. The cover member 120 is attached to the surface of the outer panel 5a by inserting and fixing the positioning boss and stopper 122 protruding from the back surface of the member 120. The cover member 120 is formed of the same material as that of the rear frame portion 5, is a flat plate member having a width equal to or smaller than that of the rear frame portion 5, and can cover at least all panel cutout portions in the lacking portion 100. Molded to size. Therefore, such a cover member 120 is suitable as the shielding member. Moreover, since the displacement of the vehicle outer side wall portion 32 to the vehicle outer side is prevented by the attachment of the cover member 120, the cover member 120 having such a structure is also suitable as the support member.

Moreover, the form of the mounting aid provided by the present invention is not limited to that of the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the object of the present invention. Hereinafter, some suitable modifications will be described with reference to the drawings.
In addition, regarding the following embodiments, members and portions that are illustrated and are not described in the present specification are the same as those in the first embodiment, and therefore need not be redundantly described. Is.

As a second embodiment, an auxiliary tool 150 having a configuration of an operation unit 151 (gripping unit) that is different from that of the first embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the mounting aid 150 according to the present embodiment has a basic shape as a clip, and roughly includes an operation unit 151 and a clamping unit 160. The operation unit 151 includes gripping parts 152a, 152b, and 152c (hereinafter referred to as “upper right side gripping part 152a”, “lower side gripping part 152b”, and “left upper side gripping part 152c”).
Specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in the drawing, a central holding piece (outer holding piece) 165 constituting the holding part 160 is extended in the direction of the operation part 151, and the extended part is a lower gripping part. 152b is configured. That is, the center holding piece (outer holding piece) 165 and the lower gripping portion 152b are integrally formed continuously.

On the other hand, a right inner holding piece 163 and a left inner holding piece 162 are formed on the left and right sides of the outer holding piece 165 so as to rise to the surface side.
Then, as shown in FIG. 12, from the right inner holding piece 163 and the left inner holding piece 162 that rise to the surface side on the left and right sides of the outer holding piece 165, the extending direction of the lower holding portion 152b and A right upper grip 152a and a left upper grip 152c are formed substantially in parallel.
That is, in other words, in the auxiliary tool 150 according to the present embodiment, the gripping portions 152a, 152b, and 152c are formed by extending from the outer holding pieces 165 and the inner holding pieces 162 and 163, respectively. As indicated by the dotted line, an external force is applied to displace both gripping parts in a direction that narrows the distance between the gripping parts that are opposed to each other (that is, between the left and right upper gripping parts 152a, 152c and the lower gripping part 152b). The space between the outer holding piece 165 and the inner holding pieces 162 and 163 expands with elasticity. Then, the vehicle outer side wall portion 32 of the glass run channel 30 can be inserted between the outer holding piece 165 and the inner holding pieces 162 and 163 by the expansion. After the insertion is completed, the distance between the outer holding piece 165 and the left and right inner holding pieces 162 and 163 is removed except for the external force that has displaced the holding parts (between the left and right upper holding parts 152a and 152c and the lower holding part 152b). By returning to the natural state, the vehicle outer side wall portion 32 can be easily sandwiched between the outer holding piece 165 and the inner holding pieces 162 and 163 by the elastic restoring force.
Therefore, according to the auxiliary tool 150 of the illustrated second embodiment, the opposing gripping portions (the left and right upper gripping portions 152a and 152c and the lower gripping portion 152b) can be easily operated to change the side wall portion of the glass run channel. Since the predetermined position can be pinched or removed, the glass run channel detachment operation can be performed more easily.

Although the said 2nd Embodiment demonstrated one suitable example of a change of the holding | grip part shape of a mounting aid, the latching mechanism to a window frame side is not restricted to 1st Embodiment mentioned above. For example, as a third embodiment, FIG. 13 shows a preferred example of a locking mechanism between the mounting aid and the window frame.
In the mounting aid 170 according to this embodiment, the holding piece 180 is not provided with the locking piece 66, and instead, the distal end portion of the grip portion 172 in the operation portion 171 is formed in a hook shape. Such a hook-shaped tip portion constitutes a locking portion 173 according to the present embodiment.
That is, in the mounting aid 170 according to the present embodiment, the auxiliary tool 170 mounted at a predetermined position on the vehicle outer side wall portion 32 is moved outwardly in the same manner as in the first embodiment to move the vehicle outer side wall portion 32. The enlarged opening 110a can be formed by displacing the tip of the lens in the rotational direction outward (in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 10) beyond the original position. At this time, in the present mounting aid 170, a hook, which is the locking portion 173 at the tip of the grip portion 172, is hooked on the outer peripheral edge 5c of the window frame 3 (rear frame portion 5). Accordingly, the enlarged opening 110a shown in FIG. 13 can be maintained in a state in which the operator does nothing (a state in which his / her hand is released from the mounting aid 170). Even in this case, even when the enlarged opening 110a is formed and maintained, the inner panel 5b and the inner flange 18 of the sash member 10 are connected to the inner side wall 38 and the holding lip 36 as shown in the figure. Since the glass run channel 30 is supported by being sandwiched between them, the entire glass run channel 30 can be prevented from being displaced, and the mounting state of the glass run channel 30 is not affected.

Furthermore, according to the locking structure according to the present embodiment, as shown in the figure, the mounting aid 170 can be displaced outward to a position along the outer panel 5a of the window frame (rear window frame 5). Accordingly, it is possible to form the enlarged opening 110a having a larger degree of expansion. Thereby, the interference between the vehicle outer side wall portion 32 of the glass run channel 30 and the window plate 7 during the window plate mounting operation can be more reliably prevented.
Further, in the present embodiment, the edge (notch edge 115) of the lacking part 100 is not used for locking the mounting aid 170. Accordingly, as shown in the drawing, the lacking portion 100 is only required to form the enlarged opening 110a, and the cutout portion of the outer panel 5a needs to be formed to the rear beyond the bottom wall portion 11 of the sash member 10. There is no. In other words, the vehicle outer side wall portion 32 of the glass run channel 30 only needs to be exposed, and the outer panel 5a has a gap that allows the locking piece 66 to enter between the bottom wall portion 11 of the sash member 10 and the outer panel 5a. There is no need to cut out a large portion (FIG. 13).
Therefore, when the locking mechanism (that is, the auxiliary tool 170) according to the present embodiment is employed, the window plate 7 can be mounted more easily, and the strength reduction of the window frame 3 can be suppressed.

FIG. 14 shows another preferred example of a locking mechanism between the mounting aid and the window frame as the fourth embodiment.
In the mounting aid 190 according to this embodiment, instead of the locking piece 66 of the first embodiment, it is locked to the outer surface of the outer holding piece 205 of the clamping part 200 (the surface facing the outer panel 5a during the displacement operation). A projection 206 is provided. Such a locking projection 206 constitutes a locking portion according to this embodiment.
That is, in the mounting aid 190 according to the present embodiment, the auxiliary tool 190 mounted at a predetermined position of the vehicle outer side wall portion 32 is moved outward as in the first embodiment to move the vehicle outer side wall portion 32. The enlarged opening 110b can be formed by displacing the tip of the lens in the rotational direction outward (in the OP direction of the arrow in FIG. 10) beyond the original position. At this time, in the present mounting aid 190, the locking projection 206 is elastically inserted into the locking hole 5d provided in advance in the outer panel 5a of the window frame 3 (rear frame portion 5). That is, the tip of the locking projection 206 made of an elastic polymer material is formed to have a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the locking hole 5d, and the locking projection 206 pushed into the hole 5d while being elastically deformed. The distal end portion of the mounting member is restored to a predetermined diameter by elastic force after passing through the hole, and the engagement with the outer panel 5a of the mounting aid 190 is realized. Thereby, the enlarged opening 110b shown in FIG. 14 can be maintained in a state in which the operator does nothing (a state in which his / her hand is released from the mounting aid 190). In this case as well, even when the enlarged opening 110b is formed and maintained, the inner panel 5b and the inner flange 18 of the sash member 10 are connected to the inner side wall 38 and the holding lip 36 as shown in the figure. Since the glass run channel 30 is supported by being sandwiched between them, the entire glass run channel 30 can be prevented from being displaced, and the mounting state of the glass run channel 30 is not affected.

Furthermore, according to the locking structure according to the present embodiment, the edge (notch edge 115) of the missing part 100 is not used for locking the mounting aid 190. Accordingly, as shown in the drawing, the lacking portion 100 may be of a level necessary for forming the enlarged opening 110b, and the notch portion of the outer panel 5a needs to be formed to the rear beyond the bottom wall portion 11 of the sash member 10. There is no need to provide a small locking hole 5d in the outer panel 5a.
Therefore, when the locking mechanism (that is, the auxiliary tool 190) according to the present embodiment is employed, the window plate 7 can be easily mounted and the strength reduction of the window frame 3 can be suppressed as in the third embodiment. .
