However, in the above-described conventional construction, the gap 33 between the lower end of the door body 21 and the slide rail 32 on the vehicle body side is opened downward, that is, on the ground side, so that the vehicle is running. When snow or water enters the gap 33 as shown by an arrow, the gap 33 is clogged or frozen, and the frozen matter 34 adheres to the door main body 21 and the slide rail 32, thereby obstructing the opening and closing function of the door. There was a problem of giving.

Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. 3-104426 discloses that water droplets flowing down an outer surface of a door are dropped on the outside of the vehicle body in order to prevent water droplets from freezing in a gap between the lower end portion of the door body and the vehicle body. There is disclosed a door body provided with a side molding at the lower end of the door body, but this does not solve the above problem.

Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 4-131548 discloses a protector provided at a lower end of a rocker outer panel on a vehicle body side and a seal rubber for closing a gap between the lower end of a door body and a protector. However, it cannot be applied to the case where a side molding projecting below the door body is provided, and if a seal rubber is similarly provided between the lower end of the door body and the vehicle body, the number of parts increases. In addition, there is a problem that the cost is increased due to the complicated configuration.

In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention provides a door provided with a side molding extending below a lower end of a lower portion of an outer surface of a door main body, wherein a gap between the door main body and a vehicle body is provided. It is an object of the present invention to provide a door side molding attachment structure that can prevent intrusion of snow and water from below with a cheap configuration.
