The door inner panel is joined to the outer surface of one side wall of the glass channel, and the door outer panel is joined to the outer surface of the other side wall of the glass channel. The division bar has an upper portion that is inserted from below between one and the other side walls of the glass channel. The bracket is joined to the upper part of the division bar and fastened and fixed to the door inner panel by a screw. The glass molding covers the opening side region of the glass channel including the glass peripheral edge of the door inner panel and the glass peripheral edge of the door outer panel.

  A notch is provided on one side wall of the glass channel. In the division bar mounting portion of the door inner panel, a recess that protrudes toward the door outer panel and is accommodated in the cutout portion is bent. Holes for fastening screws are respectively formed in the recess and the bracket of the door inner panel. The upper part of the division bar is fitted between one and the other side walls of the glass channel so that the two holes for fastening the screw are aligned.

  In the above configuration, a notch is provided on one side wall of the glass channel, and a recess that protrudes toward the door outer panel and is accommodated in the notch is bent and formed on the division bar mounting portion of the door inner panel. A hole for fastening the screw is formed. That is, the outer surface of the door inner panel is in a state in which the recess is recessed more than the other region, the head of the screw protrudes from the outer surface of the recess, and the head of the screw is covered with the glass molding. . In this state, the amount of protrusion of the screw head relative to the region other than the recess of the door inner panel is offset by the recess of the recess, so that the partial rise of the portion of the glass molding that covers the screw head is reduced. Or the occurrence of swell can be eliminated. In addition, the amount of protrusion can be further reduced when combined with reducing the thickness of the rear surface of the lip of the glass molding. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the glass molding from being deformed and floating from the door inner panel, and the appearance is improved.

  Moreover, since the occurrence of the wobbling of the end portion of the glass molding due to the floating is suppressed, it is possible to reliably prevent the mounting position of the glass molding or the glass molding from being detached.

  In addition, when the division bar is attached, the upper part of the division bar is placed on one side wall and the other side wall of the glass channel so that the positions of the two holes for fastening the screws formed in the recess and the bracket of the door inner panel are aligned. It is only necessary to fit between the two. That is, since it is only necessary to align the positions of the two holes, the mounting workability is improved.

  Further, since the division bar is fastened only to the door inner panel via the bracket, the accuracy of the mounting position of the division bar is improved.
