DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a window molding mounting structure for a vehicle in which a molding covering an annular gap between the periphery of a window panel and the vehicle body is locked to a fastener fixed to the vehicle body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A wind molding mounting structure for a vehicle of this type is, for example, as shown in FIGS.

At the rear of the vehicle body 1 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a rear window 2 is formed as shown in FIG. 10 and a step 3 is formed along the rear window 2. I have. The step 3 has a substantially L-shaped cross section from a fastener mounting wall 3a facing the vehicle compartment 4 and a panel mounting wall 3b facing the rear window hole 2 from the fastener mounting wall 3a. A rear window panel 5 that covers the rear window hole 2 is fixed to the panel mounting wall 3b via a sealant S such as an adhesive, and a peripheral end surface 5a of the rear window panel 5 and the fastener mounting wall 3 are fixed.
An annular space 6 is formed between the ring-shaped space a.

In the annular space 6, a fastener 7 having a mounting piece 7a and a band-shaped locking claw 7b is provided with a fastener mounting wall 3a.
It is arranged along. The mounting piece 7a is fixed to the fastener mounting wall 3a with a double-sided tape (not shown).

[0005] The annular space 6 is covered with a stainless steel molding 8 formed annularly along the annular space and partially cut and separated. The cut and separated ends of the molding 8 are overlapped at a joint P, and a clip 9 made of a resin material is held on the lower surface side of the molding 8. The clip 9 is locked to the band-shaped locking claw 7b of the fastener 7, and the molding 8 is attached to the vehicle body 1 (a similar one is disclosed in JP-A-3-86621).

[0006]

By the way, the fastener mounting wall 3a of the vehicle body 1 has a dimensional variation in the height in the entire longitudinal direction due to manufacturing, so that it has a good appearance, especially when the fastener 7 is mounted on the fastener mounting wall 3a. Instead of using the panel mounting wall 3b as a reference, the upper end of the fastener 7 may be adjusted to the upper end of the fastener mounting wall 3a based on the upper end of the fastener 7. Even in this case, the base 7 of the fastener 7
Since c is elastically contacted with the panel mounting wall 3b, the panel mounting wall 3b serves as a reference for the height of the band-shaped locking claw 7b to the claw portion 7e. As a result, if the height of the fastener mounting wall 3a in the entire longitudinal direction of the annular gap 6 varies more than an allowable range, the hook mounting wall 3a is moved from the claw 7e.
A large difference occurs in the height H up to the upper end in the entire longitudinal direction.

On the other hand, the base 7c of the fastener 7 and the band-shaped locking claw 7b have relatively high elasticity and are hardly deformed, but the middle part of the molding 8 and the clip 9 is continuous and has rigidity. Because the height H is higher than the band-shaped locking claw 7b, even if the height H slightly exceeds the allowable range, the base 7e of the fastener 7 and the band-shaped locking claw 7b are elastically deformed and the middle part of the molding 8 sinks. Can be prevented.

However, since the ends 8a and 8b of the molding 8 are merely overlapped with each other at the joint P, the molding 8 has a linear state like a continuous portion between the molding 8 and the intermediate portion of the clip 9. The restraining force for maintaining does not work between the ends 8a and 8b at the joint P of the molding 8,
When the molding 8 is locked to the fastener 7 with the clip 9, the joint P falls downward as shown in FIG.
A step 1a occurs between the roof R of the vehicle body 1 and the joint P, or the joint P rises as shown in FIG. 12, and a step 1b occurs between the roof R of the vehicle 1 and the joint P. There was a problem that the appearance was spoiled.

In view of the above, the present invention provides the above-described dimensional variation when the molding is assembled so as to cover the annular gap between the window panel and the vehicle body even if the fastener mounting wall along the window hole of the vehicle body has dimensional variations. It is an object of the present invention to provide a wind molding mounting structure for a vehicle which can prevent the joint between the longitudinal ends of the molding from falling down or floating upward.

[0010]
