There is also a problem in terms of reliability since it may reduce the holding power of.

Further, in order to increase the adhesive force of the catch holder 10, it is necessary to increase the wall thickness of the outer lip portion 8 in the recess 9 to increase the area to be adhered. Therefore, the amount by which the outer lip portion 8 projects from the outer surface of the door glass 2 is increased. Also grows. As a result, there is a problem that the flash effect of the body is reduced and wind noise is generated.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a vehicle door glass catching structure capable of improving the appearance and reliability, and improving the flash effect to reduce wind noise. The purpose is to

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the catch structure for an automobile door glass according to the present invention has an outer lip portion integrally formed with a portion of the outer lip portion where the door glass does not directly contact. Insert a catch holder that elastically deforms, form a protruding part that bends and protrudes inward of the hollow strip of the weather strip in the approximate center of the catch holder, and connects to the protruding part at the tip of the catch holder, and bends toward the main seal part side This is a configuration in which a curved portion is formed.

(Operation) According to the above configuration, it is not necessary to separately attach the catch holder to the outer lip portion using an adhesive or the like. In addition, the catch holder is hidden inside the outer lip and cannot be seen from the outside. Furthermore, since the catch holder can be made thin and placed inside the outer lip, the thickness of the outer lip can be made thinner, and the amount of protrusion from the door glass surface while holding the door glass can be reduced. be able to.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of an essential part of an automobile to which a door glass catching structure according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied, showing a portion corresponding to the line AA of the automobile shown in FIG. In the figure, members indicated by the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 2 indicate the same members as those in FIG.

In the door glass catching structure shown in FIG. 1, a weather strip 11 that abuts and seals the sashless door glass when the door 1 is closed is attached to the panel portion 4 on the body side along the upper peripheral edge of the opening / closing portion. It is attached via a weather strip retainer 12 and a screw 13.

The weather strip 11 is formed into a hollow body by molding with a sponge having natural rubber as a base material.
Further, a main seal portion 14 and an outer lip portion 15 located above the main seal portion 14 are integrally provided on the outer peripheral surface with which the door glass 2 is brought into contact. Further, the weather strip 11 has a built-in catch holder 16 inserted at the time of molding. The catch holder 16 is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the weather strip 11, and has a substantially T-shaped longitudinal section having a horizontal portion 18 and a vertical portion 19 and is made of a resin material or a metal material to have elasticity.
