Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a vehicle fender molding that is mounted on the upper rear edge of a front fender panel.

(Prior Art) In a vehicle such as an automobile, a fender molding is attached to an upper rear edge of the front fender panel in order to cover a joint between the front fender panel and the front pillar and to decorate an upper rear edge of the front fender panel.

Various attachment structures have been proposed for attaching the fender molding to the upper rear edge of the front fender panel, and as one example thereof, the attachment structure illustrated in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. Sho 59-132473 is known. ing. In this mounting structure, the lower bent flange formed on the upper rear edge of the front fender panel and the leg portion of the fender molding are sandwiched by clips.

As another mounting structure, a mounting leg provided on the lower surface of the fender molding is inserted between the upper rear edge of the front fender panel and the front pillar, and is formed at the lower end of the mounting leg, and the front fender is also formed. It is known that a front fender panel is sandwiched between a claw portion protruding toward the panel and a fender molding.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) In the method of assembling the front fender panel to the vehicle body after attaching the fender molding to the upper rear edge of the front fender panel, the front fender panel will be damaged because the fender molding will be scratched when assembled. I have no choice but to attach a fender molding after assembling it in. Therefore, according to the mounting structure that is clamped by the former clip,
Although it is necessary to perform the work of sandwiching the front fender panel from the lower side with the clip after the assembly, the work from the lower side is difficult.

Also, in the latter mounting structure, since the mounting leg is inserted from above because the gap between the front fender panel and the front pillar is narrow, it is not possible to increase the protrusion amount of the claw portion of the mounting leg too much. As a result, the force for holding the front fender panel is weak, and rattling easily occurs.
When the fender molding is slidably attached to the front fender panel, rattling is less likely to occur, but since the lower part of the front pillar projects forward in an arc shape, the fender molding is inserted along the rear edge of the front fender panel. I can't do it either.

(Object of the Invention) In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle fender molding mounting structure capable of firmly mounting a fender molding to a front fender panel with a simple operation.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is to change the attachment means at both ends of the fender molding and attach to the front fender panel from different directions.

Specifically, the solution provided by the present invention is a mounting structure for a fender molding that is mounted on an upper rear edge of a front fender panel, and one end of the fender molding has a protrusion extending in a longitudinal direction of the fender molding. A clip member is provided, and a downward bending flange formed at the upper rear edge of the front fender panel is sandwiched between the projecting portion of the clip member and the fender molding, and
A fastener member provided at the other end of the fender molding is inserted from above into an insertion hole formed in the front fender panel to attach the fender molding to the front fender panel.

(Operation) With the above-described configuration, at one end portion of the fender molding, the downward bending flange of the front fender panel is sandwiched between the projecting portion of the clip member and the fender molding, and at the other end portion, the fastener member is provided with the front fender. It is inserted into the insertion hole of the panel from above, and the fender molding is attached to the front fender panel.
Installed from the direction. Further, both the sandwiching work and the inserting work from above can be performed on the upper side of the front fender panel.

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

1 to 7 show a left side portion of a vehicle fender molding mounting structure according to the present invention, in which a fender molding 1 is arranged above a joint between a front fender panel 2 and a front pillar 3.

In the upper rear image of the front fender panel 2, a lower bent flange 21 having an outer end portion cut out is extended, and two insertion holes 22, 22 are provided on the inner side with a space therebetween. .

The fender molding 1 is formed by molding a metal plate such as a stainless steel plate into a C-shaped cross section, and a protector 11 made of synthetic resin is integrally molded on the back surface thereof to prevent damage to the vehicle body at the time of mounting.

A clip member 12 is provided on the back surface of the outer end of the fender molding 1.
As shown in FIG. 7, the clip member 12 includes a base portion 12a, an arcuate mounting portion 12b extending upward from the base portion 12a, and a protruding portion 12c protruding inward from the base portion 12a.
Consists of. As shown in FIG. 5, the mounting portion 12b of the clip member 12 is fitted on the back surface of the fender molding 1,
As a result, the clip member 12 is fixed to the fender molding 1. Also, as shown in FIG.
The protruding portion 12c of the
The front end of the fender molding 1 is in contact with the front surface of the front fender panel 1, and the upper surface of the front fender panel 2 is in contact with the lower surface of the front fender panel 2.

Fastener members 13 and 13 are arranged on the back surface of the inner end of the fender molding 1 at the same intervals as the insertion holes 22, and these fasteners 13 have a base portion 13a as shown in FIG.
And a plate-shaped mounting portion 13b provided at the upper end of the base portion 13a, and an engaging protrusion 13c extending obliquely upward and backward from the lower end of the base portion 13a. As shown in FIG. 3, the attachment portion 13b of the fastener member 13 is fitted on the back surface of the fender molding 1, so that the fastener member 13 is fixed to the fender molding 1.
Is stuck to. Also, the engaging protrusion of the fastener member 13
The tip of 13c is stepped to form an arcuate thin portion, and this thin portion is inserted into the insertion hole 22 of the front fender panel 2. By doing so, the thin portion regulates the movement in the front-back and left-right directions, and
A projection 13d and a step provided on the lower surface of the mounting portion 12b sandwich the front fender panel 2 and regulate the movement in the vertical direction.

Next, a method of attaching the fender molding 1 to the front fender panel 2 will be described. First, insert the fender molding 1 in the direction of arrow 5 in FIG. 2 and feed it forward with the inner end of the fender molding 1 facing diagonally upward and the clip member 12 positioned below the front fender panel 1. When the rear surface of the protruding portion 12c of the clip member 12 faces the front surface of the downward bending flange 21, the inner end portion of the fender molding 1 is rotated in the direction of arrow 6 in FIG. next,
When the fastener member 13 faces the insertion hole 22, the inner end portion of the fender molding 1 is pressed downward. With this configuration, the downward bending flange 21 is sandwiched between the protrusion 12c of the clip member 12 and the fender molding 1, the fastener member 13 is inserted into the insertion hole 22, and the fender molding 1 is attached to the front fender panel 2. Mounted.

(Effect of the Invention) As described above, according to the vehicle fender molding mounting structure of the present invention, since the fender molding is mounted on the front fender panel from two directions, the fender molding is firmly mounted. Further, since the inserting and inserting work can be performed on the upper side of the front fender panel, the mounting work is easy.
