Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an attachment structure for a rain garter in which a windshield glass is attached by a gasket.
[0002]
[Prior art]
There are two types of windshield glass attachment: a type in which the glass is directly bonded to the body and molding is applied, and a type in which the glass is attached by a sealer through a gasket. In this windshield, rainwater has recently entered the glass of the front door, and wind noise during high-speed driving has become a problem. In the case of the gasket type, a rain gutter portion is formed integrally with the gasket to cope with this.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the type in which this windshield glass is directly bonded to the body and molded is inferior to the gasket type in that it is slightly inferior in terms of waterproofing, dustproofing and squeaking noise, etc. However, there is a problem that the extrusion die for forming the rain garter portion becomes expensive, and there is a problem that the rain garter portion may be damaged at the time of attaching the glass to deteriorate the appearance around the glass.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-described conventional problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a rain garter mounting structure that can be easily retrofitted to the left and right front pillars in a gasket type windshield.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above technical problem, the present invention provides a front window of a type in which a windshield glass is attached to a front window of a vehicle via a gasket, and outer curved pieces of left and right front pillars of the front window. A mounting piece that is mounted along the window glass, a shielding piece that rises at a predetermined angle with respect to the window glass surface, and a predetermined curved surface from the end of the shielding piece toward the front door side, which is substantially the same as the front door. have a rectifying element serving as a surface, is to have a structure for mounting a separately provided for Reingata formed cross section deformation triangular cylindrical shape having a hollow portion, the second invention, the Reingata, the front The bracket is attached to the shielding piece and inserted and locked between the windshield glass and the outer lip of the gasket. A bracket that is attached to the attachment piece of the garter and hooked to the rear side of the front pillar, and a structure that is attached to the attachment piece of the rain garter and is attached to the front pillar by an adhesive tape that is attached to the outer curved piece of the front pillar. This is a gasket type rain gutter mounting structure. Therefore, for example, rainwater that falls on the windshield glass in rainy weather and flows to the left and right front pillars due to wind pressure flows upward along the closing piece of the rain gutter. Reduced side visibility. In addition, since the outer surface of the rectifying piece of the rain garter and the door glass surface of the front door are almost continuous, the air flow during high-speed running flows along the body without leaving the body surface, so wind The sound can be lowered. In particular, this rain garter is hooked to the rear side of the front pillar via a bracket to the front pillar with the conventional windshield glass, and adhesive tape is attached to the mounting piece and attached to the front pillar. Since the mounting configuration is hooking, sticking, and plugging engagement, which is retrofitted with a bracket that is inserted and locked between the front shield glass and the outer lip fitted in the glass fitting groove of the gasket, the configuration is extremely simple. For example, it is possible to easily cope with a change in the specification of the presence or absence of rain gutter in a production line or the like, and also to perform maintenance easily.
