The stabilizer main body 2 is attached to the glass surface 03 so as to be able to move forward and backward, and the support member 3 and the flocking portion 4 fixed to the stabilizer main body 2 are roughly constituted. The inner stabilizer 1 cooperates with an outer stabilizer (not shown) to narrowly support the door glass 203 at the center of rotation 204 to regulate the position of the door glass 203, and to adjust the position of the door glass 203 at the top dead center of the door glass 203.
The hook 130 attached to the support member 3 is fitted into the support member 3 to constitute a door stabilizer for a hard-top vehicle that maintains the support rigidity of the door glass 203.

As shown in FIG. 2, the stabilizer main body 2 has a mounting portion 21 mounted on the upper slope portion 201a of the inner panel 201, and a substantially L-shape continuous with a tip portion (door glass side) of the mounting portion 21. And a pressing portion 22 having a vertical wall 22a substantially parallel to the glass surface of the door glass 203. The mounting portion 21 is provided with a mounting burring hole 21a substantially at the center of the plate surface, and an adjusting flange 21b is erected at a rear edge (the inner panel 201 side) located on both sides of the burring hole 21a. The flocked portion 4 is fixed to the cut-and-raised piece 22b formed at the bent portion of the pressing portion 22. At this time, the adjusting flange 21b is formed in a substantially L-shape by projecting the engaging projection 21c to the side, and is disposed so as to be located substantially on the same line as the burring hole 21a.

As shown in FIG. 2, the support member 3 is formed of a channel-shaped member having a U-shaped cross section, and one side wall thereof is brought into contact with the vertical wall 22a of the pressing portion 22 to form a caulking member. Alternatively, it is attached to the stabilizer main body 2 by being fixed by welding or the like. The one side wall of the support member 3 and the tip of the vertical wall 22 a are covered with a flocked portion 41.

On the other hand, upper slope 2 of inner panel 201
01a is a tightening bolt 1 screwed into the burring hole 21a.

It is provided in parallel so as to sandwich the long hole 201b,
By inserting the adjusting flange 21b into the long hole 201c and screwing a tightening bolt 120 penetrating the long hole 201b into the burring hole 21a and tightening the same, the stabilizer main body 2 to which the support member 3 is fixed is fixed to the inner side. It can be attached to the upper slope portion 201a of the panel 201 (see FIG. 1). At the time of this attachment, since the engagement projection 21c can be temporarily engaged by engaging with the long hole 201c, the attachment work becomes easy.

After mounting, as shown in FIG.
20, the stabilizer main body 2 is moved forward and backward (in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 1) with respect to the glass surface of the door glass 203 to adjust the position. After the adjustment, the tightening bolts 120 are tightened to move the stabilizer main body 2 to the upper slope portion 201a. Fix it.

In the inner stabilizer 1 configured as described above, the hook 130 attached to the door glass 203 is fitted into the support member 3 formed of a channel-like member, and as shown in FIG. The fitting width of the hook 130 is accurately set by the opening width B of the support member 3, so that the desired support rigidity of the door glass 203 can be easily obtained. In this case, since the support member 3 does not require any particular precision in its processing and assembly, it can be easily performed.

In the inner stabilizer 1, since the support member 3 is fixed to the vertical wall 22a of the pressing portion 22 of the stabilizer body 2, it is necessary to secure a space for mounting other members in the mounting portion 21 of the stabilizer body 2. Is eliminated, the degree of freedom in setting the burring hole 21a and the adjustment flange 21b is increased, and the adjustment flange 2 is provided as in the present embodiment.

In such a case, as shown in FIG. 4, the width of the mounting portion 21 along the long holes 201b and 201c (the burring hole shown in FIG. 4). 21a and the overall width b) are reduced to reduce the upper slope 2 of the inner panel 201.
Even when the width A of 01a is narrow, it can be applied only by forming the long holes 201b and 201c in the upper slope portion 201a.
For this reason, the long holes 201b and 201c are
Therefore, the rigidity of the inner panel 201 does not decrease because it is not necessary to form the inner panel 201 and the side surface 201e.

[0025]

As described above in detail, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the support member into which the hook attached to the door glass is fitted at the top dead center of the door glass is constituted by a channel-shaped member, Since this support member is fixed by contacting with the vertical wall of the pressing portion formed continuously on the door glass side of the mounting portion of the stabilizer body, the fitting width of the hook is determined by the opening width of the support member. Accurately set, the desired support rigidity of the door glass can be easily obtained, and no special precision is required in the processing and assembly of the support member, and they can be easily performed. The mounting section eliminates the need to secure mounting space for other components, and the burring hole for mounting to the upper slope of the inner panel and the freedom of setting the adjustment flange are large. It is rich in ruggedness and it is possible to reduce the width along the long hole provided on the upper slope portion of the mounting portion, thereby shortening the set length of the long hole even if the upper slope portion is narrow, and It is sufficient to set only the slope portion, and there is no need to set two surfaces including the side portion of the inner panel, so that the rigidity of the inner panel is not reduced.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the adjusting flange provided on the mounting portion of the stabilizer main body is provided with the engaging projection for engaging with the elongated hole provided on the upper slope portion.
When the stabilizer main body is mounted on the upper inclined surface of the inner panel, the engaging projection can be temporarily engaged by engaging the engaging projection with the elongated hole, thereby facilitating the assembling operation.
