Description

The present invention
The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a fender top cover that covers an opening between a front window glass mounting surface portion of a vehicle body and an end edge portion of a front fender panel above the vehicle wind direction.

  In recent years, a vehicle has been manufactured in which the inclination of the front pillar of the side body outer panel is set to be large, and the appearance of the front hood is enhanced by providing a continuous feeling. When the inclination of the front pillar is increased, the lower end position of the front pillar is larger than the upper end of the front pillar (roof tip) and is disposed on the front side of the vehicle.

  However, considering the driver's visibility, the lower end of the front window glass cannot be positioned on the vehicle front side in the same manner as the front pillar. For this reason, the front pillar and the front window glass are largely displaced in the vehicle front-rear direction, and a step is generated between them. This is particularly noticeable at the lower end of the front pillar, and the front pillar protrudes forward of the vehicle with respect to the front window glass. In such a shape, the throttle depth at the lower end of the front pillar becomes deep, and the formability of the front pillar is lowered.

As a means to solve this problem, a method was adopted in which the upper end portion of the front fender panel was extended to the front pillar side, and the design surface of the lower end portion of the front pillar was constituted by the side surface of the extension portion of the front fender panel. The formability of the front fender panel, which is a small component compared to the body outer panel, is still reduced. Therefore, the opening is formed on the side surface of the extension portion of the front fender panel so that the front fender panel has a narrow aperture and the moldability is improved, and this opening is covered with the fender top cover from the vehicle width direction inside ( Patent Document 1).
