[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle body structure of an open roof vehicle, and more particularly, to a seal structure of a junction between a roof and a windshield glass on a body frame supporting the roof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In an open roof vehicle, a weather strip is provided on a frame for supporting a roof, and sealing is performed by bringing an end of the roof into contact with the weather strip.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show a seal structure at a front end of a roof in a conventional open roof vehicle. In this open roof vehicle, a front header 1 is delivered to a front pillar, and a weather strip 2 is attached from the rear surface 1a to the upper surface 1b of the header 1, and the weather strip 2 is provided.
At the front end of the roof 3. Also,
The front header 1 is provided with an upper end portion of a front windshield glass 4. A windshield weather strip 5 is provided around the periphery of the windshield glass 4.
And the strip is fixed to the front header 1 with an adhesive 6 to hold the upper end of the windshield glass 4 to the front header 1.

[0004]

By the way, in the vehicle body structure of the open roof vehicle, the weather strip 2 is front-mounted by the clip 7 as shown in FIG. 3 or by the double-sided adhesive tape 8 as shown in FIG. Header 1
Then, the windshield glass 4 is attached to the front header 1. It is also clear from these figures
One of the upper ends 2b of the weather strip front end 2a
To cover the windshield weather strip 5
Step is formed at this location
It is.

However, in the case of the structure shown in FIG. 3, since the weather strip 2 is positioned by the clip 7, a gap may be formed between the weather strips 2 and 5, and rainwater or the like may flow from the gap into the room. There is a risk of intrusion into

In the structure shown in FIG. 4, it is possible to install the weather strip 2 in contact with the window weather strip 5, but the operation becomes complicated.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle body structure of an open roof vehicle which facilitates a work of installing a weather strip.

[0008]

In the vehicle body structure of the open roof vehicle according to the present invention, the vehicle body frame provided below the roof 10 is provided.
And additionally provided a roof weather strip 19 over the inner surface 11b of the over arm 11 on the upper surface 11a, the roof weather string

[0009]

In the vehicle body structure of the open roof vehicle according to the present invention, the upper portion of the roof weather strip can be installed only by fitting the upper portion to the window weather strip, and the two weather strips are in close contact with each other.

[0010]

FIG. 1 shows a vehicle employing a vehicle body structure according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows a main part thereof.

In the vehicle shown in FIG. 1, the roof 10 is divided into three parts, and each of the roof parts 10a, 10b, 10c has a front end joined to a front header (body frame) 11, and a rear end joined to a roll bar 12. Combined and held on the vehicle body.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 1, and shows a sealing structure between the roof portion 10b and the front header 11.

The front header 11 is composed of an inner panel 13 and an outer panel 14.
14 are connected to each other at both ends. The panel 14 forms an upper surface 11a and an inner side surface 11b of the front header 11.

The upper surface 11a of the front header 11
, The upper end of the windshield glass 15 is supported. At the upper end of the windshield glass 15, a window weather strip 16 is fitted. The weather strip 16 has a T-shaped recess 16a on the end face.

The window weather strip 16 thus assembled is disposed on the upper surface 11a of the front header 11, and is fixed to the upper surface of the front header 11 by a double-sided adhesive tape 17.
Fixed to 11a. A urethane-based adhesive 18 is interposed between the windshield glass 15 and the upper surface 11a of the front header 11.

On the other hand, a roof weather strip 19 is arranged from the upper surface 11a to the inner side surface 11b of the front header 11. The weatherstrip 19 has a groove 19a and a T-shaped projection 19b on the other end face. In this weather strip 19, the groove 19a is fitted to one end of the front header 11, and the T-shaped convex portion 19b is
By being fitted into a T-shaped concave portion 16a provided on the rear end face 16b of the front header 11, it is held by the front header 11. For this reason,
The upper end surface 16c of the window weather strip 16 and the roofway
The upper end surface 19f of the front end portion 19c of the strip 19 is substantially flush with the upper end surface 19f.
It is formed so that it becomes.

The front end and the lower surface of the front end of the roof 10 are connected to the front end 19c of the roof weather strip 19 and the rear end.
It abuts against the portion 19d , where a seal is achieved.

[0018] In the above embodiment, a recess 16a in the rear end face 16b of the window weather strip 16, but forms a convex portion 19 b on the front end surface 19e of the roof weather strip 19, the roof of the recess weatherstrip 19 and the projection may be formed on the window weather strip 16.

[0019] In the above embodiment, although a recess 16a and the convex portion 19 b in a T-shape, may be formed them into an L-shape, also the recess 16a and dovetail, convex Part 19a
May be used as an ant pattern.

[0020]

As described above, in the vehicle body structure of the open roof vehicle according to the present invention, the upper part of the roof weather strip 19 is supported by the vehicle body frame 11 by fitting the upper part of the roof weather strip 19 to the window weather strip 16.

Therefore, the roof weather strip 19 can be easily and reliably attached to the window weather strip 16. Further, the space between the roof weather strip 19 and the window weather strip 16 is closely connected,
The intrusion of rainwater or the like can be reliably prevented by the complicated T-shaped uneven connection . In addition, the present invention
At the front of the roof,
And the roof weather strip front end 19c are almost flush
The appearance is good and the wind noise
Occurrence is reduced.
