Description

  The present invention relates to a mounting structure of a drip weather strip attached to a drip roof channel in a sliding door for an automobile.

  The conventional drip weather strip mounting structure has a substantially straight line extending along the upper edge of the door opening of the vehicle body, and is positioned substantially above the edge of the door opening corner and the straight line formed by extrusion. A drip weather strip having a straight part and a terminal forming part integrally formed by molding is attached to a drip roof channel fixed to the upper edge of the door opening by spot welding. It has been.

  The terminal forming portion and the straight portion both have a door seal lip that contacts the inner panel of the door and a vehicle body seal lip that contacts the upper edge of the door opening. Between the vehicle body seal lip and the door seal lip, the door opening A mounting groove having a substantially L-shaped cross-section opened toward the upper edge is formed.

  On the other hand, a mounting flange having a substantially L-shaped cross section is formed from the bottom of the drip roof channel to the door side end.

To attach the drip weather strip to this drip roof channel, insert the drip weather strip mounting groove into the drip roof channel mounting flange, and pry the entire drip weather strip from the side of the car body to attach the drip weather strip to the car body. (See, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 2004-330801 A

  However, in the above-described conventional technology, the terminal forming portion makes the thickness around the mounting groove thin to allow opening and bending when die-cutting in order to facilitate die-cutting after die-molding. In order to make a shape or to give a draft angle, the opening of the mounting groove has to be inclined, and the surface that comes into contact with the mounting flange is reduced.

  For this reason, the terminal forming portion has a weaker holding force after attachment to hold the attachment flange around the attachment groove than the straight portion.

  Also, the vehicle front side end of the drip roof channel is located inside the corner of the door on the vehicle front side, and this corner is formed in an arc shape so that the drip roof channel is spot welded to the upper edge of the door opening. The height (vertical width) of the fixing flange of the drip roof channel that is formed for fixing is tapered such that the height (vertical width) decreases toward the tip. For this reason, the vehicle front side end portion of the drip roof channel cannot be spot-welded and is in a state of floating from the upper edge portion of the door opening of the vehicle body.

  Moreover, since rainwater received by the drip weather strip is drained at the center pillar position, it is necessary to extend the drip weather strip to the center pillar position, but this drip roof channel is not extended to the center pillar of the vehicle body. . For this reason, the tip of the terminal forming portion is not supported by the drip roof channel and is in a floating state.

  In addition, the upper part of the door opening corner end on the vehicle front side of the door opening where the terminal forming part is located is a part where a hand touches or gets rubbed by the body when the occupant gets on or off It is. For this reason, as a means for securing the holding force, the material around the mounting groove is made hard, or the mounting groove is mounted with butyl rubber in the mounting groove to adhere between the mounting groove and the mounting flange. ing.

  This makes the drip roof channel's mounting flange harder in material and must be inserted through the mounting groove into which butyl rubber has been inserted, making it even more difficult to install drip weather strips that are difficult to insert. Since butyl rubber is inserted, the cost increases.

  In addition, there is a risk that the front end portion of the drip roof channel that is in a floating state without being fixed at the time of mounting is deformed, and paint is peeled off at the upper edge portion of the door opening of the vehicle body.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to the conventional problems as described above, and it is easy to attach the drip weather strip to the drip roof channel, and there is a possibility that the vehicle front side end portion of the drip roof channel may be deformed at the time of installation. It is another object of the present invention to provide a drip weather strip mounting portion structure that can secure a holding force without being fixed with butyl rubber and can reduce the cost.

  In order to achieve the above-described object, the drip weather strip mounting portion structure of the present invention has a drip weather strip main body portion that can be inserted into a mounting flange of a drip roof channel and mounted on the upper edge of the door opening of the vehicle body. A mounting groove that is open toward the top and a drip weather strip terminal forming portion of the drip roof channel is formed with a mounting flange tip protrusion of the drip roof channel, and the mounting flange tip protrusion. A space is formed between the door and the upper edge of the door opening of the vehicle body, and the drip weather strip terminal forming portion is surrounded by the upper and lower walls, the vehicle body side wall, and the door side wall at the mounting base. And a hollow bag portion having a closed end is formed, and the hollow bag portion is attached to the drip roof channel mounting flange. And a means which is characterized in that by insertion mounted from the vehicle front to Nji end projecting portion.

  According to the present invention, since the drip weather strip terminal forming portion is attached to the front end protruding portion of the mounting flange of the drip roof channel by insertion in the longitudinal direction of the drip roof channel from the front of the vehicle, the drip weather strip terminal is attached to the drip roof channel. It is easy to mount the forming part, and there is no risk of deforming the front end of the drip roof channel when mounting, and the mounting part of the drip weather strip terminal forming part with respect to the protruding flange tip of the drip roof channel is a hollow bag shape Therefore, since there is no possibility of coming off in the vehicle width direction, it is possible to secure the holding force without adhesively fixing with butyl rubber, and it is possible to reduce the cost.
