A hinge member is attached, 14 is a front door of the vehicle, and 15 is a center pillar integrally provided on the body side.

The hinge member 13 is formed of a bent flat plate metal having elasticity and is integrally formed in a long shape. The hinge member 13 has a substantially U-shaped main body 16 to which the front end portion 12a of the side window glass 12 is attached. A hinge arm 17 bent back from the end edge of the inner piece 16a of the main body 16, an outer end portion 18 bent back from the end edge of the outer piece 16b of the body 16, and the outer end portion 18 And a flange portion 19 which is bent from the end edge of the to the inside of the vehicle. In the main body 16, the gap between the inner and outer pieces 16a and 16b is set to be slightly smaller than the thickness width of the window glass 12. Further, a head of a stud bolt 20 protruding inward of the vehicle is fixed to a substantially central position of the hinge arm 17.

The parting seal 11 is made of a long rubber material and has a base portion 21 bent along the shape of the flange portion 19 into a substantially V shape, and a base end edge 21a of the base portion 21. A curved seal portion 22 made of a sponge rubber material is connected to the tip edge 21b, and a hollow portion 23 is formed between the base portion 21 and the seal portion 22 to allow the flexible deformation of the seal portion 22. ing. Further, the parting seal 11 is integrally formed by extrusion molding as a whole, and at the time of the extrusion molding, the base portion 21 is simultaneously fixed to the flange portion 19 located on the vehicle body side. Further, the seal portion 22 is provided on the front door 1
4 is closed, the substantially central portion is the rear edge 14 of the front door 14.
It comes into contact with a.

The center pillar 15 is a flange-shaped both side portion 1 bent inward of the inner and outer panels 15a and 15b.
5c and 15d are joined to each other to form an overall cross section having a substantially hexagonal shape, and the nut 2 is provided substantially at the center of the inner panel 15a.
