Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a seal structure according to a first embodiment of the present invention and a sectional view taken along line AA and BB thereof.

An end portion of a lateral seal member 1 forming a roof side weather strip of a detachable top abuts a vertical seal member 2 forming a lock pillar weather strip fixed to a lock pillar portion of a vehicle body. The inner surface of the side door window glass 3 contacts the sealing members 1 and 2.

The lateral seal member 1 is provided with a receiving groove 4 which extends in the longitudinal direction thereof and receives water entering from the upper edge side of the glass 3, and the end portion of the lateral seal member 1 is provided with the receiving groove 4. In addition to the provision of the water guiding hole 4a for guiding the received water to the drainage hole 2a of the vertical sealing member 2, the glass sealing surface of the horizontal sealing member 1 is provided with a ridge that can prevent water from entering. The water draining bead 5 forming the above is aligned with the edge of the receiving groove 4 and is bent and formed in a range reaching the vertical seal member 2 below.

On the outer periphery of the drainage bead 5, a drainage groove 6 is formed which is a recess for receiving the water blocked by the drainage bead 5. One side of the drainage groove 6 is formed in the receiving groove 4 and the other side. The side faces the upper end opening of the drain hole 2a of the vertical seal member 2.

With the side-door window glass seal structure of the open roof vehicle constructed as described above,
When the detachable top is closed, its lateral seal member 1 abuts on the vertical seal member 2, and when the side door window glass 3 is closed, the draining bead 5 at the end of the lateral seal member 1 on the lock pillar side moves to the side door window. It abuts the glass 3 to prevent water from entering.

The water blocked by the water draining bead 5 enters the receiving groove 4 of the lateral seal member 1 by a drainage groove 6 formed along the outer periphery of the water draining bead 5, as shown in part by arrow C. The water in the receiving groove 4 is guided and reaches the drainage hole 2a of the vertical seal member 2 through the water guiding hole 4a. On the other hand, the other part of the drain groove 6 extends from the lower end of the drain groove 6 to the drain hole 2a of the lower vertical seal member 2 as indicated by an arrow D.

Thus, the water blocked by the draining bead easily reaches the receiving groove of the horizontal sealing member or the draining hole of the vertical sealing member by the drainage groove formed along the outer periphery of the draining bead. Since it is removed without staying in the water draining bead portion, it is possible to prevent water from entering the vehicle interior even when the sealing performance is deteriorated due to deterioration of the water draining bead.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a seal structure according to a second embodiment of the present invention and a sectional view taken along line EE thereof. First
The same members as those in the embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

The end of the receiving groove 4 of the horizontal seal member 1 forms a bent groove 11 along the draining bead 5 that is bent and formed in a range reaching the vertical seal member 2 below, and the end of the bent groove 11 is vertical. It reaches the drainage hole 2 a of the seal member 2.

By the side door window glass seal structure of the open roof vehicle constructed as described above,
The water draining bead 5 at the end of the lateral seal member 1 on the lock pillar side abuts the side door window glass 3 to prevent the intrusion of water, and the blocked water, together with the water in the receiving groove 4, bends the groove 11. Is drained to the drainage hole 2a of the seal member 2, and the bent groove 11 functions as a drainage groove.

Therefore, since the water blocked by the water draining bead is removed without staying due to the bent groove, even if the sealing performance is deteriorated due to deterioration of the water draining bead, water intrudes into the vehicle interior. Can be prevented.

[0021]

As described above, a drainer bead is provided at the end of the lateral seal member of the side door window glass of an open roof vehicle on the lock pillar side of the seal structure of the side door window glass, and the bead is connected to the receiving groove of the lateral seal member. By forming a drainage groove along the outer periphery of the draining bead,
The draining bead abuts against the side door window glass to prevent water from entering, and the water blocked by the draining bead is guided to the receiving groove of the lateral seal portion by the drain groove.

Therefore, since the water blocked by the draining bead is easily removed without staying in the draining bead portion, even when the sealing performance is deteriorated due to deterioration of the draining bead, the water in the vehicle interior is reduced. Intrusion can be prevented.
