Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a vehicle body seal structure for an open car, and more particularly to a seal structure for an opening / closing part such as a rear roof.

(Prior Art) In an automobile having a so-called hard roof, a structure in which a roof is detachably attached has been used so far in addition to a normal "closed" form in which a roof right above is covered with a roof. There is known a vehicle body structure that can also take the form of a "Targa" whose upper part is open. further,
As disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-61334, the rear roof that covers the latter half of the upper part of the passenger compartment has a structure that can be rotated rearward to a predetermined storage position, and the roof is interlocked with this rotation. There is also known a vehicle body structure in which a "closed" structure and a "full open" structure can be formed by making the structure of the vehicle body storable.

In an automobile whose rear roof is rotatable rearward, that is, in an open car, an opening for preventing interference with the vehicle body during rotation of the rear roof is generally provided on the rear side of the center of rotation of the rear roof. The opening is formed between the rear roof and the vehicle body, and the opening is covered by a deck cover that is supported by the vehicle body so as to be retractable to a position deviating from the turning trajectory of the rear roof.
Therefore, in such an open car, seal members are provided between the rear roof and the deck cover and between the vehicle body and the deck cover, respectively, and thereby seal the inside and outside of the vehicle at the opening portion.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, in such a vehicle body seal structure,
It is not possible to sufficiently secure the sealing performance at the left and right front end portions of the opening in which both the seal members are in contact with each other simply by providing the respective seal members.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and provides a vehicle body seal structure for an open car capable of reliably sealing the inside and outside of the vehicle at the left and right front end portions of the opening formed between the rear roof and the vehicle body. It is intended to be provided.

(Means for Solving the Problems) A car body seal structure for an open car according to the present invention is provided to cover a rear half of an upper part of a passenger compartment, and is a rear roof rotatably supported by a car body to a predetermined storage position. And a deck cover supported by the vehicle body so as to close an opening between the rear roof and the vehicle body formed on the rear side of the center of rotation of the rear roof, and a vehicle body seal structure for an open car, comprising: A first sealing member provided on the vehicle body along an opening edge of the vehicle body located forward of the center of rotation and sealing between the deck cover and the vehicle body, and the rear roof located rearward of the center of rotation of the rear roof. A second seal member that is provided along the edge of the rear roof and that seals between the rear roof and the deck cover. An inclined surface inclined inward in the vehicle width direction is formed at a predetermined position rearward of the rotation center of the rear roof, and the rear roof is provided at an upper portion of the vehicle compartment at a front end portion of the second seal member. When it is rotated forward to a position covering the latter half of the
It is characterized in that a contact surface is formed in pressure contact with the inclined surface of the seal member.

(Operation and Effect of the Invention) As shown in the above configuration, at the front end portion of the second sealing member provided on the rear roof, that is, at the portion closest to the rotation center of the rear roof, the position where the rear roof covers the latter half of the upper part of the passenger compartment. A contact surface is formed that is brought into pressure contact with the first seal member provided on the vehicle body when it is rotated forward to the front, and the target portion of the first seal member with which this contact surface is brought into pressure contact is the rear roof. Since the inclined surface is inclined inward in the vehicle width direction on the rear side from the center of rotation, there are variations in assembly in the vehicle width direction and the vehicle height direction in the first and second seal members when mounted on the vehicle. Even in this case, when the rear roof is closed, the surface pressures of the contact surface and the inclined surface can be sufficiently secured, whereby the vehicle at the left and right front end portions of the opening formed between the rear roof and the vehicle body can be secured. The inside and outside can be reliably sealed.
