【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は走行時に雨水がフロントウィンドやルーフからサイドウィンド側に流れて運転手の側方視界の妨げとなることを防止するための自動車用ドリップモールの取付構造及び同取付方法に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
ドリップモールは、図６に示すように、ウィンド当て部１とルーフ当て部２とから成り、ウィンド当て部１が車体のサイドパネル３とフロントウィンドＷの接続部分に、ルーフ当て部２がサイドパネル３とルーフＲの接続部分にそれぞれ取付けられて、両接続部分からサイドウィンド側への水の流出を防止する。
【０００３】
なお、ウィンド当て部１とルーフ当て部２は一体に連続形成されるか、または別体に形成されて継手で連結される。
【０００４】
このドリップモールは、上記水処理のほかに、上記接続部分の隙間や溝を隠して美観を保つ装飾カバーとしての役割をも有する。
【０００５】
このため、ドリップモールは、サイドパネル３とフロントウィンドＷ及びルーフＲとを組立てた後にその接続部分に取付けられる。
【０００６】
また、同モールは、損傷時等に容易に交換できるように、両当て部１，２とも上記接続部分に対して、図中、□印で示す複数個所で着脱可能に取付けられる。
【０００７】
従来のこの取付構造を図７〜図９によって説明する。
【０００８】
図７はウィンド当て部１における前端部の取付部分、図８はウィンド当て部１における前端部以外の複数個所の取付部分、図９はルーフ当て部２の複数個所の取付部分をそれぞれ示す。
【０００９】
各図において、４はウィンド当て部１及びルーフ当て部２を構成する金属製の芯材、５はこの芯材４を被覆するプラスチックやゴム等の弾性材料から成る被覆材である。
【００１０】
ウィンド当て部１の前端部には、図７に示すように前端取付具６が取付けられ、この前端取付具６の突起７が、サイドパネル３側の係合穴８に押し込まれることによってウィンド当て部前端部が取付けられる。
【００１１】
ウィンド当て部１の前端部以外の複数個所には、図８に示すように前部取付具９が取付けられ、同取付具９に突設された突片１０が、サイドパネル３側に固定された断面Ｕ字形の前部受け具１１に嵌め込まれることによって、ウィンド当て部１の前端部以外の部分が取付けられる。
【００１２】
ルーフ当て部２の複数個所には、図９に示すように後部取付具１２が取付けられ、同取付具１２に突設された突片１３が、サイドパネル３側に固定された後部受け具１４に嵌め込まれることによって、ルーフ当て部２が取付けられる。
【００１３】
なお、各取付具６，９，１２及び受け具１１，１４はプラスチックにて形成され、これらが弾性的に係合または嵌合してモール取付力が得られる。
【００１４】
【従来の技術】
ここで、従来は、各図に示すように各取付具６，９，１２の突起７または突片１０，１３をいずれも下向きに突設し、サイドパネル側の係合穴８または受け具１１，１４に対して上から下に嵌め込む構造、すなわち、モールをすべての取付個所で上方から下方に組み付ける構成をとっている。
【００１５】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところが、このようにモールの組み付け方向がすべての個所で同じ（上から下）となった従来のモール取付構造によると、使用中、上向きの外力によって一個所でも外れると、外力が他の部分に波及して広い範囲（最悪の場合はモール全体）で外れ易いという問題があった。
【００１６】
そこで本発明は、外力の波及を抑えてモールの外れを防止することができる自動車用モールの取付構造及び同取付方法を提供するものである。
【００１７】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項１の発明（取付構造）は、次の要件を具備するものである。
【００１８】
( Ａ ) ドリップモールが、車体側のモール取付部分に対して前後方向の複数個所で着脱可能に組み付けられていること。
【００１９】
( Ｂ ) 車体のサイドパネルとフロントウィンドの接続部分に取付けられるウィンド当て部の組み付け方向が、前端部とそれ以外の部分とで異なること。
【００２０】
( Ｃ ) サイドパネルとルーフの接続部分に取付けられるルーフ当て部の組み付け方向が、後端部とそれ以外の部分とで異なること。
【００２１】
( Ｄ ) 上記ウィンド当て部とルーフ当て部の組み付け方向が、互いの連続部分で異なること。
【００２２】
( Ｅ ) 上記各組み付け個所が上下、車体内外、前後の三種類のうちのいずれかの方向性をもって組み付けられていること。
【００２３】
( Ｆ ) モール全体として上記三種類の方向性をもって組み付けられていること。
【００２４】
請求項２の発明は、車体のサイドパネルとフロントウィンドの接続部分に取付けられるウィンド当て部と、サイドパネルとルーフの接続部分に取付けられるルーフ当て部とから成り、上記ウィンド当て部は、前端部が車体内側から外側に、それ以外の部分が上方から下方にそれぞれ組み付けられてサイドパネルとフロントウィンドの接続部分に取付けられ、上記ルーフ当て部は、後端部が前方から後方に、それ以外の部分が車体内側から外側にそれぞれ組み付けられてサイドパネルとルーフの接続部分に取付けられたものである。
【００２５】
請求項３の発明( 取付方法 )は、車体のサイドパネルとフロントウィンドの接続部分に取付けられるウィンド当て部と、サイドパネルとルーフの接続部分に取付けられるルーフ当て部とから成るドリップモールを、上記接続部分に対して、次の ( Ｉ ) 〜 ( ＩＶ ) の順序及び組み付け要領で着脱可能に取付けるものである。
【００２６】
( Ｉ ) 上記ルーフ当て部の後端部を組み付ける。
【００２７】
( ＩＩ ) ルーフ当て部における後端部以外の部分を、上記後端部と異なる方向に組み付ける。
【００２８】
( ＩＩＩ ) 上記ウィンド当て部における前端部以外の部分を、上記ルーフ当て部における後端部以外の部分と異なる方向に組み付ける。
【００２９】
( ＩＶ ) ウィンド当て部の前端部を、上記前端部以外の部分と異なる方向に組み付ける。
【００３０】
上記構成によると、モール複数個所を上下、左右 ( 車体内外 ) 、前後の三種類の方向性をもって組み付けているため、基本的な効果として、外力によって一部が外れても、組み付け方向が異なる他の部分への外力の波及を抑えることができる。
【００３１】
ところで、ウィンド当て部とルーフ当て部が一体に形成されたモールの場合、両当て部の一方が外れると、外力が他方の当て部に伝わり易いため、モール全体が外れ易い。この点、両当て部の組み付け方向が互いの連続部分で異なるため、両当て部の一方が外れても、外力が他方の当て部に伝わらない。
【００３２】
また、両当て部のそれぞれにおいて、外力が作用し易い端部とそれ以外の部分で組み付け方向を変えているため、端部に作用した外力がモール中間部側に波及しない。
【００３３】
これらの点の相乗効果により、外力によるモールの外れを最小限の範囲に止め、モール全体の外れを確実に防止することができる。
【００３４】
また、請求項３の方法によると、最初に組み付けるルーフ当て部の後端部でモールの後端を位置決めできるため、モールの寸法誤差や車体の組立誤差等があっても、ウィンド当て部の前端側で、たとえばモールの余剰分をボンネット内に多めに押し込む（不足する場合はこの押し込み量を少なくする）等の調整が容易となる。このため、モールの組み付け作業性が良いものとなる。
【００３５】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施形態を図１〜図５によって説明する。
【００３６】
図１にこのドリップモールの自動車への組み付け状態を示している。
【００３７】
同図中、◎印はウィンド当て部１の前端部、□印は同当て部１における前端部以外の部分、△印はウィンド当て部２の後端部以外の部分、○印は同当て部２の後端部での取付個所をそれぞれ示し、モールが、これら各個所において次の( Ｉ )〜( ＩＶ )の順序及び要領で着脱可能に組み付けられる。
【００３８】
( Ｉ ) ルーフ当て部２の後端部（○印部分）を前方から後方へ組み付ける。
【００３９】
( ＩＩ ) ルーフ当て部２の他の部分（△印部分）を車体内側から外側へ組み付ける。
【００４０】
( ＩＩＩ ) ウィンド当て部１の前端部以外の部分（□印部分）を上方から下方へ組み付ける。
【００４１】
( ＩＶ ) ウィンド当て部１の前端部（◎印部分）を車体内側から外側へ組み付ける。
【００４２】
次に、各部の取付構造の詳細を図２〜図５によって説明する。
【００４３】
上記( Ｉ )（ルーフ当て部２の後端部＝図１の○印部分）の組み付け（図２，３参照）
ルーフ当て部２の後端部に後端取付具２１が取付けられている。同取付具２１には、後側に幅広のガイド穴２２、前側に幅狭の係合穴２３が相連通して設けられ、この係合穴２３が、ルーフＲの対サイドパネル接続部２４に突設されたスタッド２５に、ガイド穴２２経由で嵌め込まれることにより、ルーフ当て部後端部が前方から後方に組み付けられる。
【００４４】
上記( ＩＩ )（ルーフ当て部２における後端部以外の部分＝図１の△印部分）の組み付け（図４参照）
ルーフＲの対サイドパネル接続部２４の前後複数個所に、後部取付具２６がスタッド２７によって取付けられている。
【００４５】
同取付具２６の上部には、モール幅よりも少し幅狭のモール係合部２８が設けられ、モールのルーフ当て部２がこのモール係合部２８に対し車体内側から外側に向かって嵌め込まれることによって、ルーフ当て部２の後端部以外の部分が組み付けられる。
【００４６】
このとき、ルーフ当て部２は、図中二点鎖線で示す少し外上がりの傾斜姿勢でモール係合部２７に図中矢印方向に係合された後、モール係合部２８の弾性を利用して実線の姿勢に戻されることによってモール係合部２７に被嵌される。
【００４７】
上記( ＩＩＩ )（ウィンド当て部１における前端部以外の部分＝図１の□印部分）の組み付け（図示省略）
この部分は、図８（従来におけるウィンド当て部１の取付構造）と同じ構造、すなわち、ウィンド当て部１の前後複数個所に取付けられた前部取付具９の突片１０が、サイドパネル３側に取付けられた断面Ｕ字形の受け具１１に弾性的に嵌め込まれることによって上方から下方に組み付けられる。
【００４８】
上記( ＩＶ )（ウィンド当て部１の前端部＝図１の◎印部分）の組み付け（図５参照）
ルーフ当て部１の前端部に前端取付具２９が取付けられている。
【００４９】
図７に示す従来のルーフ当て部前端部の取付構造においては、前端取付具６に下向きの突起７を設け、この突起７をサイドパネル３側の係合穴８に上方から下方に係合させていたのに対し、本構造では、前端取付具２９に車体外向きの突起３０が設けられ、この突起３０がサイドパネル３側に横向きに設けられた係合穴３１に弾性的に係合することにより、ウィンド当て部前端部が車体内側から外側に向かって組み付けられる。
【００５０】
このモール取付構造によると、上記のようにモールの組み付け方向が、
（ｉ）ウィンド当て部１（上方から下方）と、ルーフ当て部２（車体内側から外側）で異なり、
（ｉｉ）ウィンド当て部１における前端部（車体内側から外側）と、それ以外の部分（上方から下方）で異なり、
（ｉｉｉ）ルーフ当て部２における後端部（前方から後方）と、それ以外の部分（車体内側から外側）で異なる。
【００５１】
すなわち、モール複数個所を上下、左右（車体内外）、前後の三種類の方向性をもって組み付けているため、基本的な効果として、外力によって一部が外れても、組み付け方向が異なる他の部分への外力の波及を抑えることができる。
【００５２】
とくに、この実施形態で挙げた、ウィンド当て部１とルーフ当て部２が一体に形成されたモールにおいて、両当て部１，２の一方が外れても、外力が他方の当て部に伝わらない。
【００５３】
また、両当て部１，２のそれぞれにおいて、外力が作用し易い端部とそれ以外の部分で組み付け方向を変えているため、端部に作用した外力がモール中間部側に波及しない。
【００５４】
これらの点の相乗効果により、外力によるモールの外れを最小限の範囲に止め、モール全体の外れを確実に防止することができる。
【００５５】
さらに、ルーフ当て部２の後端部を最初に組み付け、ルーフ当て部後端を位置決めした上で他の部分を組み付けるため、たとえばモールの寸法誤差や車体の組立誤差等によってウィンド当て部１の前端側に余剰分が発生した場合は、この余剰分をボンネット内に多めに押し込み、不足する場合はこの押し込み量を少なくする等の調整が容易となる。このため、モールの組み付け作業性が良いものとなる。
【００５６】
他の実施形態
（１）上記実施形態では、モールを、ルーフ当て部２の後端部→同部２の他の部分→ウィンド当て部１の前端部以外の部分→同部前端部の順番、つまり後から前に組み付ける手順をとったが、これと逆に前から後に組み付ける手順、あるいは、モール中間部を組み付けた後、前後両端部を組み付ける手順をとってもよい。
【００５７】
ただし、本発明者の試行錯誤の結果、上記実施形態の組み付け手順及び方向性でモールを取付けると最も作業性が良いことが確認された。
【００５８】
（２）各部の具体的なモール組み付け構造は上記実施形態以外に種々変更可能である。たとえば前後方向に組み付ける構造として、図２，３に示す構造に代えて、ルーフＲの対サイドパネル接続部２４に、スタッド２５に代えてトンネル状の係合部を設け、後端取付具２１に後向きに設けた突片をこの係合部に挿入係合させる構造をとってもよい。
【００５９】
【発明の効果】
上記のように本発明によると、モール複数個所を上下、左右 ( 車体内外 ) 、前後の三種類の方向性をもって組み付けているため、基本的な効果として、外力によって一部が外れても、組み付け方向が異なる他の部分への外力の波及を抑えることができる。
【００６０】
ところで、ウィンド当て部とルーフ当て部が一体に形成されたモールの場合、両当て部の一方が外れると、外力が他方の当て部に伝わり易いため、モール全体が外れ易い。この点、両当て部の組み付け方向が互いの連続部分で異なるため、両当て部の一方が外れても、外力が他方の当て部に伝わらない。
【００６１】
また、両当て部のそれぞれにおいて、外力が作用し易い端部とそれ以外の部分で組み付け方向を変えているため、端部に作用した外力がモール中間部側に波及しない。
【００６２】
これらの点の相乗効果により、外力によるモールの外れを最小限の範囲に止め、モール全体の外れを確実に防止することができる。
【００６３】
また、請求項３の発明によると、最初に組み付けるルーフ当て部の後端部でモールの後端を位置決めできるため、モールの寸法誤差や車体の組立誤差等があっても、ウィンド当て部の前端側で、たとえばモールの余剰分をボンネット内に多めに押し込む（不足する場合はこの押し込み量を少なくする）等の調整が容易となる。このため、モールの組み付け作業性が良いものとなる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a mounting structure and a mounting method for a drip molding for an automobile for preventing rain water from flowing from a front window or a roof to a side window and obstructing a driver's side view during traveling.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As shown in FIG. 6, the drip molding includes a window pad 1 and a roof pad 2, where the window pad 1 is a connection part between the side panel 3 and the front window W of the vehicle body, and the roof pad 2 is the side panel. 3 and the roof R are attached to the connecting portions, respectively, to prevent water from flowing out from the connecting portions to the side window side.
[0003]
In addition, the window pad part 1 and the roof pad part 2 are integrally formed continuously, or are formed separately and connected by a joint.
[0004]
In addition to the water treatment, this drip molding also has a role as a decorative cover that conceals the gaps and grooves in the connecting portions and maintains the beauty.
[0005]
For this reason, after assembling the side panel 3, the front window W, and the roof R, the drip molding is attached to the connecting portion.
[0006]
In addition, both the abutting portions 1 and 2 are detachably attached to the connecting portion at a plurality of locations indicated by □ in the drawing so that the mall can be easily replaced when damaged.
[0007]
This conventional mounting structure will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0008]
FIG. 7 shows attachment portions at the front end portion of the window pad portion 1, FIG. 8 shows attachment portions at a plurality of locations other than the front end portion of the window pad portion 1, and FIG. 9 shows attachment portions at a plurality of locations of the roof pad portion 2.
[0009]
In each figure, 4 is a metal core material constituting the window pad portion 1 and the roof pad portion 2, and 5 is a coating material made of an elastic material such as plastic or rubber that covers the core material 4.
[0010]
As shown in FIG. 7, a front end fixture 6 is attached to the front end portion of the window pad portion 1, and the projection 7 of the front end mount member 6 is pushed into the engagement hole 8 on the side panel 3 side to thereby wind the window pad. The front end is attached.
[0011]
As shown in FIG. 8, a front mounting fixture 9 is attached to a plurality of locations other than the front end of the window pad 1, and a projecting piece 10 projecting from the mounting fixture 9 is fixed to the side panel 3 side. A portion other than the front end portion of the window pad portion 1 is attached by being fitted into the front receiving member 11 having a U-shaped cross section.
[0012]
As shown in FIG. 9, a rear fixture 12 is attached to a plurality of locations of the roof abutting portion 2, and a protruding piece 13 protruding from the fixture 12 is fixed to the side panel 3 side. The roof abutting portion 2 is attached by being fitted into the.
[0013]
Each of the fixtures 6, 9, 12 and the receptacles 11, 14 is made of plastic, and these are elastically engaged or fitted to obtain a molding attachment force.
[0014]
[Prior art]
Here, conventionally, as shown in each drawing, the projections 7 or the projecting pieces 10 and 13 of the respective fixtures 6, 9, and 12 project downward, and the side panel side engagement holes 8 or the receivers 11 are provided. , 14 is configured to be fitted from the top to the bottom, that is, the molding is assembled from above to below at all attachment points.
[0015]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, according to the conventional mall mounting structure in which the mounting direction of the mall is the same (from top to bottom) in this way, the external force is transferred to the other part when it is removed by an upward external force during use. There was a problem that it was easy to come off in a wide range (in the worst case, the whole mall).
[0016]
Therefore, the present invention provides a mounting structure and a mounting method for an automobile molding that can prevent the molding from coming off by suppressing the spread of external force.
[0017]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The invention (attachment structure) of claim 1 has the following requirements.
[0018]
( A ) The drip molding is detachably assembled at a plurality of positions in the front-rear direction with respect to the molding mounting part on the vehicle body side.
[0019]
( B ) The mounting direction of the window pad attached to the connecting part between the side panel of the vehicle body and the front window is different between the front end and the other parts.
[0020]
( C ) The assembling direction of the roof abutting portion attached to the connecting portion between the side panel and the roof is different between the rear end portion and the other portions.
[0021]
( D ) The assembling direction of the window pad and the roof pad is different between the continuous parts.
[0022]
( E ) Each of the above assembling locations is assembled with any one of the three directions of up and down, inside and outside of the vehicle body, and front and rear.
[0023]
( F ) The mall as a whole is assembled with the above three directions.
[0024]
According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a window pad portion attached to a connection portion between a side panel and a front window of a vehicle body, and a roof pad portion attached to a connection portion between the side panel and the roof. Is mounted from the inside to the outside of the vehicle body, and the other parts are assembled from the top to the bottom, and attached to the connecting part of the side panel and the front window. The parts are assembled from the inside to the outside of the vehicle body, and are attached to the connecting part of the side panel and the roof .
[0025]
The invention of claim 3 (mounting method) has a window contacting portion attached to the connecting portion of the vehicle body side panel and the front window, the formed Ru drip molding and a roof support part attached to the connecting portion of the side panels and the roof, It is detachably attached to the connecting portion in the following order ( I ) to ( IV ) and assembling procedures.
[0026]
( I ) Assemble the rear end of the roof rest.
[0027]
( II ) A portion other than the rear end portion of the roof abutting portion is assembled in a direction different from that of the rear end portion.
[0028]
( III ) The parts other than the front end part in the window pad part are assembled in a different direction from the parts other than the rear end part in the roof pad part.
[0029]
( IV ) Assemble the front end of the window pad in a direction different from the portion other than the front end.
[0030]
According to the above configuration, since the multiple locations of the mall are assembled with three types of directionality: top / bottom, left / right ( inside / outside of the car body ) , and front / rear, the basic effect is that the assembly direction differs even if part of the mall is removed The influence of external force on the part of can be suppressed.
[0031]
By the way, in the case of the mall in which the window pad and the roof pad are formed integrally, if one of the two pads is removed, the external force is easily transmitted to the other pad, and therefore the entire mall is easily detached. In this respect, since the assembling directions of the two abutting portions are different from each other in the continuous portion, even if one of the both abutting portions is detached , the external force is not transmitted to the other abutting portion.
[0032]
In addition, in each of the abutting portions, the assembling direction is changed between the end portion where the external force is easily applied and the other portions, so that the external force acting on the end portion does not spread to the molding intermediate portion side.
[0033]
Due to the synergistic effect of these points, the detachment of the mall due to external force can be kept to a minimum range, and the detachment of the entire mall can be surely prevented.
[0034]
According to the method of claim 3 , since the rear end of the molding can be positioned at the rear end of the roof abutting portion to be assembled first, the front end of the window abutting portion can be obtained even if there is a molding dimensional error or a vehicle body assembly error. On the side, for example, the excessive amount of the mall is pushed into the hood more easily (if the amount is insufficient, the pushing amount is reduced). For this reason, the assembling workability of the mall is good.
[0035]

A front end fixture 29 is attached to the front end portion of the roof abutting portion 1.
[0049]
In the conventional structure for attaching the front end portion of the roof abutment shown in FIG. 7, the front end fitting 6 is provided with a downward projection 7, and this projection 7 is engaged with the engagement hole 8 on the side panel 3 side from below. On the other hand, in this structure, the front end fitting 29 is provided with a protrusion 30 facing outward from the vehicle body, and this protrusion 30 is elastically engaged with an engagement hole 31 provided laterally on the side panel 3 side. Thus, the front end portion of the window pad portion is assembled from the inside of the vehicle body to the outside.
[0050]
According to this molding mounting structure, the mounting direction of the molding is as described above.
(I) It differs between the window pad 1 (from top to bottom) and the roof pad 2 (from inside to outside)
(Ii) It differs between the front end portion (from the vehicle body inner side to the outer side) and the other portion (from the upper side to the lower side) in the window pad 1,
(Iii) The rear end portion (from front to rear) of the roof abutting portion 2 is different from the other portion (from the vehicle body inner side to the outer side).
[0051]
In other words, since the multiple mall locations are assembled with three types of directionality: top and bottom, left and right (inside and outside the vehicle body), and front and back, the basic effect is to move to other parts where the assembly direction is different even if part is removed by external force Can suppress the spread of external force.
[0052]
In particular, in the molding in which the window pad part 1 and the roof pad part 2 are integrally formed as described in this embodiment, even if one of the two pad parts 1 and 2 is removed, the external force is not transmitted to the other pad part.
[0053]
Further, in each of the abutting portions 1 and 2, since the assembly direction is changed between the end portion where the external force is easily applied and the other portions, the external force applied to the end portion does not spread to the molding intermediate portion side.
[0054]
Due to the synergistic effect of these points, the detachment of the mall due to external force can be kept to a minimum range, and the detachment of the entire mall can be surely prevented.
[0055]
Further, the rear end portion of the roof abutting portion 2 is assembled first, the rear end portion of the roof abutting portion is positioned, and other portions are assembled. For example, the front end of the window abutting portion 1 is caused by the dimensional error of the molding or the assembly error of the vehicle body. If a surplus portion is generated on the side, the surplus portion is pushed into the hood more, and if it is insufficient, adjustment such as reducing the push amount becomes easy. For this reason, the assembling workability of the mall is good.
[0056]
Other Embodiments (1) In the above embodiment, the molding is arranged in the order of the rear end portion of the roof abutting portion 2 → the other portion of the same portion 2 → the portion other than the front end portion of the window abutting portion 1 → the front end portion of the same portion, In other words, the procedure for assembling from the back to the front was taken, but the procedure for assembling from the front to the back, or the procedure for assembling the front and rear ends after assembling the molding middle portion may be taken.
[0057]
However, as a result of trial and error by the present inventor, it was confirmed that the workability is best when the molding is attached according to the assembly procedure and direction of the above embodiment.
[0058]
(2) Specific mold coupling structure of Parts can be variously modified in addition to the above embodiment. For example, as a structure assembled in the front-rear direction, instead of the structure shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a tunnel-like engagement portion is provided in the opposite side panel connection portion 24 of the roof R instead of the stud 25, and the rear end fixture 21 is provided. A structure may be adopted in which a projecting piece provided rearward is inserted into and engaged with the engaging portion.
[0059]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, since the plurality of moldings are assembled with three types of directions, up and down, left and right ( inside and outside the vehicle body ) , and front and back, the basic effect is that even if part is removed due to external force, Ripple of external force to other parts with different directions can be suppressed.
[0060]
By the way, in the case of the mall in which the window pad and the roof pad are formed integrally, if one of the two pads is removed, the external force is easily transmitted to the other pad, and therefore the entire mall is easily detached. In this respect, since the assembling directions of the two abutting portions are different from each other in the continuous portion, even if one of the both abutting portions is detached, the external force is not transmitted to the other abutting portion.
[0061]
Further, in each of the contact portions, the assembly direction is changed between the end portion where the external force is likely to act and the other portions, so that the external force acting on the end portion does not spread to the molding middle portion side.
[0062]
Due to the synergistic effect of these points, the detachment of the mall due to external force can be kept to a minimum range, and the detachment of the entire mall can be surely prevented.
[0063]
According to the invention of claim 3 , since the rear end of the molding can be positioned at the rear end of the roof abutting portion to be assembled first, the front end of the window abutting portion can be obtained even if there is a molding dimensional error or a vehicle body assembly error. On the side, for example, the excessive amount of the mall is pushed into the hood more easily (if the amount is insufficient, the pushing amount is reduced). For this reason, the assembling workability of the mall is good.
