Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce a wind noise and improve an appearance as well as the retention of sealing ability by coating, in the same color as a body exterior, the body outside surface of a sub lip for a door weather strip for plugging a body outside clearance between a door sash and a body opening. CONSTITUTION:A door 5 is provided for the body opening 3 of an automobile 2. A running channel 8 is fit inside the door sash 7 of the door 5 so as to receive a rising/falling door glass. A door weather strip 12 is provided outside the door sash 7, and when the door is closed, a main lip 12a contacts the opening 3 so as to seal a body interior, and a sub lip 12b plugs body outside clearance 14 between the door sash 7 and the body opening 3. The body outside surface 12c of the sub lip 12b is coated in the same color as a body exterior. Consequently, reduction in a wind noise and improvement in an appearance due to the identification feeling of the body with the door as well as in the retention of sealing ability can be achieved.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a method for coating a door stop weather strip for an automobile.

[Conventional technology]

When the door of an automobile is closed, the door sash is positioned within the opening of the vehicle body, but a gap is created between the two. Therefore, a door stop weather strip (vX) is attached to the door sash, and the lip attached to this is brought into contact with the opening of the vehicle body, closing the gap and sealing the single room. As for such weather strips, various structures have been devised (for example, see Japanese Utility Model Application No. 62-56418).

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The gap portion is formed between the door sash and the vehicle body opening, and has a gap facing toward the outside of the vehicle. If this gap is not closed with the sub-lip of the door stop weather strip, there is a problem in that the interior of the vehicle body opening can be seen through the gap, impairing the appearance.

Furthermore, even if this gap is closed with a sub-lip, in the conventional type, the rubber skin (black) of the sub-lip can be seen through the gap, making it impossible to see the gap between the vehicle body and the door.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention provides a method of painting a sea urchin strip for a door stop for an automobile, which solves the above-mentioned problems.

In other words, in the case where the gap between the door sash and the vehicle body opening facing the outside of the vehicle is closed by the sub-lip of the door stop weather strip, the surface of the sub-lip on the exterior of the vehicle is painted in the same color as the exterior color of the vehicle body. It is something.

[For production]

The outer surface of the sub-lip of the door stop rewage strip is painted in the same color as the exterior color of the car body, creating a sense of unity between the car body and the door.

(Example) The details of the present invention will be explained below using examples shown in the drawings.

A door 5 is provided in a vehicle body opening 3 of an automobile 2. The door 5 has a launch channel 8 fitted inside the door sillage so as to receive the door glass 1o which is raised and lowered. A weather strip 12 is fitted on the outside of the door sash 7, and when the door is closed, the main lip 12a comes into contact with the vehicle body opening 3 to seal the vehicle interior.

And the door stop weather strip 12 has a sub lip 12.
b, so that when the door is closed, a gap 14 (width dimension H) between the door sash 7 and the vehicle body opening 3 facing the outside of the vehicle is closed by a number blip 12b.

In this invention, the vehicle outer surface 12G of the sub-lip 12b is painted. This painting is for the car body.
The painting work is performed together with the painting process, and the painting work is listed in order of process as follows.

To summarize, after painting the car body (the door has already been attached to the car body), the door stop weather strip with primer treatment is installed on the sublip, and in the exterior color painting line, the outside surface of the sublip is painted along with the car body. Paint the same color.

(Effects of the Invention) This invention works as described above, and since the sub-lip of the door stop weather strip closes the gap facing the outside of the vehicle between the door sash and the vehicle body opening, the appearance is improved and especially Since the outside surface of the sub-lip is painted in the same color as the exterior color of the car body, it has the advantage of creating a sense of unity between the car body and the door.

In addition, since the sub-lip closes the gap between the door sash and the vehicle body opening, the vehicle body and the door form a continuous outer surface via the sub-lip, improving aerodynamic characteristics (71
This has the advantage of reducing cutting noise, maintaining sealing performance, and reducing CD value.
