Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle molding mounting structure for mounting a vehicle molding to a groove portion of a vehicle body panel, and a fixing clip used for the mounting.

  Conventionally, various vehicle molding mounting structures have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). One conventional example is shown in FIGS.

  In FIG. 11, the vehicle body panel 50 is provided with a long groove 51. A vehicle body side locking portion 52 is erected in the groove portion 51. The roof molding 60 which is a vehicle molding is long like the shape of the groove 51 and is attached so as to cover the groove 51 using a fixing clip 70.

  The fixing clip 70 includes a clip main body 71 disposed on the inner surface of the roof molding 60 via a gap d2, and a pair of clip side latches provided on the clip main body 71 and latched to the vehicle body side latching portion 52. And a clip fixing portion 73 on both sides that extends from both ends of the clip body 71 and is fixed to both ends of the roof molding 60 in the width direction.

  Next, the attaching operation of the roof molding 60 will be described. As shown in FIG. 12, the roof molding 60 with the fixing clip 70 mounted on the inner surface side is positioned above the groove 51 of the vehicle body panel 50, and the roof molding 60 is pushed into the groove 51 from above. Then, first, the pair of clip side locking portions 72 abut against the vehicle body side locking portion 52. When further pushed in from this state, as shown in FIG. 13, the clip main body 71 is displaced toward the inner surface side of the roof molding 60, while the pair of clip side locking portions 72 are elastically deformed in a direction to widen the space between them. The stop portion 52 enters between the pair of clip side locking portions 72. When inserted to the insertion completion position, as shown in FIG. 11, the pair of clip side locking portions 72 are elastically deformed and locked to the vehicle body side locking portion 52. This completes the installation.

  In the process of pushing the roof molding 60 into the groove 51, when the pair of clip side locking portions 72 abut on the vehicle body side locking portion 52, the reaction force from the vehicle body side locking portion 52 causes the clip body 71 to roof. The inner surface of the molding 60 is pressed. However, since the gap d2 is interposed between the clip body 71 and the inner surface of the roof molding 60, the clip body 71 and the roof molding 60 do not collide with each other with a strong impact force. As a result, the occurrence of dents in the roof molding 60 is prevented as much as possible.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-82647

  However, in the mounting structure of the conventional roof molding 60, which is a conventional vehicle molding, even if a gap d2 is interposed between the clip body 71 and the roof molding 60, an excessive pushing force is applied to the roof molding 60. As a result, the clip body 71 and the roof molding 60 abut against each other violently. Then, a dent may occur at the location of the roof molding 60 corresponding to the edge of the clip main body 71. In particular, in the case of glossy roof molding, even a slight dent is conspicuous and a solution is desired.

  Further, if there is a gap d2 between the clip body 71 and the roof molding 60, the clip body 71 escapes to the roof molding 60 side due to the reaction force from the vehicle body side locking portion 52, so a large pushing force (insertion stroke) is generated. It was necessary. In particular, in the wide roof molding 60, the pushing force (insertion stroke) becomes large, and the solution is desired.

  Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and can effectively prevent the occurrence of dents in the vehicular molding, and can be mounted with a vehicular molding that can be mounted with a small pushing force. An object is to provide a structure and a fixing clip.
