Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automobile roof molding structure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In an automobile shown in FIG. 11, a roof molding b is mounted on an upper end of a rear pillar a. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, a groove 3 is formed at substantially the same height as the upper end of the side door opening 4 at the joint between the roof panel 1 and the rear pillar panel 2. The roof molding b is mounted in the groove 3 (see FIG. 10). In other words, the front end of the roof molding b has the side door opening 4
Is mounted so as to face the weatherstrip c mounted on the corner portion of FIG. Also, weather strip c
A cover part d is extended to cover the vehicle body panel between the roof molding b.

[0003]

However, since the weather strip c has a cover d extending at a position e where the weather strip c is attached to a corner of the side door opening 3, it must be formed only by extrusion. Can not. That is, the portion e must be formed by injection molding, and the other portions f must be formed by extrusion molding, so that an increase in cost cannot be avoided.

[0004] In view of such circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a roof molding structure for an automobile in which a weather strip can be formed only by extrusion.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a weather strip in which a roof molding is attached to a joint between a roof panel and a rear pillar panel, and a front end thereof is attached to a corner of a side door opening. In the automobile mounted so as to face, the front end of the roof molding, a cover portion for covering the vehicle body panel between the weather strip, is extended, and the back surface of the cover portion is fixed to the body panel. I do.

Further, the cover portion is sunk into the back side of the welt portion of the weather strip, and a step is formed on the upper surface of the cover portion where the tip of the welt portion abuts. The tip and the upper surface of the cover may be flush.

Further, a drain wall may be provided upright adjacent to the step portion.

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

FIG. 9 is an enlarged view of the inside of a dotted frame B of FIG. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a roof panel, and a groove 3 is formed at a joint with the rear pillar panel 2.
The groove 3 is arranged at substantially the same height as the upper end of the side door opening 4. A weather strip holding member 5 is joined to the roof panel 1 and the rear pillar panel 2 along the side door opening 4. And in the groove 3,
As shown in FIG. 1, the roof molding 6 is mounted so that the front end faces the weather strip mounted on the corner of the side door opening 4, and the weather strip 7 is mounted on the weather strip holding member 5.

At the front end of the roof molding 6, a cover 8 for covering the vehicle body panel between the roof strip 6 and the weather strip 7 is extended, and the tip of the cover 8 extends under the welt 7a of the weather strip 7. I have. 4, a rib 9 is provided on the back surface of the cover portion 8, and the rib 9 is fixed to the vehicle body panel with a double-sided tape 10.

Since the present embodiment is configured as described above,
There is no need to extend the weather strip 7 with a cover portion that covers the vehicle body panel between the weather strip 7 and the roof molding 6. That is, since it is sufficient to use the weather strip 7 having the same cross-sectional shape, the molding can be performed only by extrusion molding, which is advantageous in cost.

As shown in FIG. 5, a step 20 is provided on the upper surface of the cover 8 and the tip of the welt 7a is brought into contact with the step 20 so that the upper surface is flush with the upper surface of the cover 8. It may be made to become. By doing so, there is no danger that rainwater will accumulate on the cover 8.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a drain wall 21 is erected adjacent to the stepped portion 20 to drain rainwater from the drain 22.
May be reliably guided downward.

[0014]

According to the present invention, it is not necessary to extend a cover portion for covering the vehicle body panel between the weather strip and the roof molding, so that the weather strip can be formed only by extrusion, and the cost can be reduced. It will be advantageous.
