SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a rear door capable of preventing the door lock device from being splashed with water and having the same appearance before and after a partition sash on a door waistline.

[0012]

In order to achieve the above object, a first aspect of the present invention is to provide a corner window panel having a partition sash vertically extending behind a rear door window panel which moves up and down. A weatherstrip is disposed around the corner window panel, and a bracket having a U-shaped cross section opened upward to hold a lower edge of the corner window panel is provided on the door. In a rear door for an automobile disposed along a vehicle front-rear direction within a waist portion of a main body, a lower edge portion attached to a lower edge portion of the corner window panel of the weather strip has a portion closer to a vehicle outer side than the corner window panel. Forming a shelf projecting to the outside of the vehicle and contacting the outside vertical wall of the bracket, so that water flows on the shelf; A notch is formed in the shelf at a position on the front side of the vehicle with respect to the door lock device so that water on the shelf flows down onto the bottom surface of the bracket, and the notch is formed in the bottom surface of the bracket in the vehicle longitudinal direction. A drain hole for draining water on the bottom surface into the door body is formed between the notch and the door lock device, and an outside molding is provided at a waist portion of the door body. In the side molding, a front lip sliding on the rear door window panel is formed on the front side of the partition sash, and a rear lip is formed on the rear side of the partition sash to abut on the corner window panel and cover the shelf. The corner of the weatherstrip
The lower edge attached to the lower edge of the window panel is

It is characterized by an automobile rear door having a portion formed.

According to this configuration, the front molding and the rear lip having substantially the same shape are formed on the outside molding before and after the partition sash.
Unlike the related art, the appearance is similar before and after the appearance, so that the appearance quality can be improved as compared with the related art.

By providing the rear lip in the molding in this way, unlike the conventional case in which the lip 9b is provided at the lower edge 9a of the weather strip, water enters the door body, and the door body has a lip 9b. There is a possibility that the door lock device provided in the vehicle may be exposed to water. However, according to the present invention, this can be prevented as follows.

That is, water that has entered the door waist from between the rear end of the rear lip of the molding and the weather strip flows toward the front of the vehicle on the shelf. Then, it flows down from the notch of the shelf onto the bottom of the bracket. At this time, in a portion other than the notch portion, the leading end portion of the shelf portion is in contact with the vehicle-side vertical wall portion of the bracket, so that it does not flow down onto the bottom portion of the bracket.

This water flows on the bottom of the bracket,
The water drops from the drain hole into the door body and is drained. Since the drain hole is formed on the front side of the door lock device, water does not splash on the door lock device.

[0021]

Also, a spacer portion is formed on the weather strip, and the spacer portion is brought into contact with the vehicle interior vertical wall portion of the bracket so that the shelf formed on the opposite side contacts the vehicle exterior vertical wall portion. The contact force can be improved, and the function as the shelf can be further stabilized, and at the same time, the stability of the lower edge of the corner window panel can be further ensured.

[0023]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a front lip and a rear lip having substantially the same shape are formed on the outside molding before and after the partition sash. Since the appearance is the same, the appearance quality can be improved as compared with the related art.

Moreover, even in such a case, it is possible to prevent water from splashing on the door lock device by forming the shelf portion, the notch portion, the drain hole, and the like.

[0025]

[0026]

Also, a spacer portion is formed on the weather strip, and the spacer portion is brought into contact with the inner vertical wall portion of the bracket, so that the shelf formed on the opposite side contacts the outer vertical wall portion. The contact force can be improved, and the function as the shelf can be further stabilized, and at the same time, the stability of the lower edge of the corner window panel can be further ensured.
