A side part structure of a vehicle includes a side door and a second seal member. The side door includes a lower end edge which substantially overlaps a wheel arch. The second seal member is configured to seal a gap between a wheel house and the side door. The side door includes a door garnish which faces an outer edge of the wheel house. The second seal member includes an installation base member and a lip integrally formed with the installation base member. The installation base member is configured to operably couple to the outer edge of the wheel house. The lip has a substantially tongue-shaped cross section in a width direction of the vehicle, and makes contact with the door garnish. The lip extends toward an outside in the width direction of the vehicle from a part on an outer side in a radial direction of the installation base member.

Side part structure of vehicle

A glass run couples to an outer-cabin side of a frame and includes a body and an installation member. The body includes an outer-cabin side wall, an inner-cabin side wall and a glass run side wall. The installation member is assembled on a flange having a plurality of elevated parts formed at regular intervals, has a substantially U-shaped cross-section including the glass run side wall, a body side wall and a connecting wall and has an anchoring part formed on an inner side for receiving the plurality of elevated parts on the flange. A thin part is formed by providing a concave part on an inner side of a connecting part between the body side wall and the connecting wall of the installation member.

Glass run

Disclosed is a glass run in which a cover is not easily detached from a window frame, thereby ensuring safety and good appearance, while reducing the number of components and costs. A protruding portionprotruding in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle along an upper part of a window frameis provided at a cornerof a glass run. The protruding portionincludes an outer covercovering an outside, in a widthwise direction of a vehicle, of an angled portion A of the window frame, an inner covercovering an inside, in the widthwise direction of the vehicle, of the angled portion A, and a connecting portionconnecting the outer coverand the inner coverto each other. The connecting portionis inserted in, and assembled to, a notchof the window frame

Glass run for automobile door

A sealing structure, of which an upper end part makes elastic contact with a roof weather strip which is installed along a side edge of a roof and extending in a front and rear direction, includes an installation base member installed on a quarter sash provided on a front side of a quarter window glass of a retractable roof vehicle, (that lifts and lowers together with the quarter window glass). The sealing structure also includes a hollow seal part which makes elastic contact with a side window glass, and a seal lip, An upper end part has a seal wall formed thereon, which covers a front side corner part of the upper end part from an inner-cabin side, which is protrudingly formed toward an outer-cabin side and makes elastic contact with the side window glass from an inner-cabin side.

Sealing structure of weather strip for retractable roof vehicles

An outer lipis forked into an inner-attaching lipX and an outer-attaching lipY, wherein the outer-attaching lipY is set on a position where a top endthereof is not drawn toward a connecting wallside by the door glass; a folding pointis formed on a connecting wallside of a base rootof the inner-attaching lipX for turning the inner-attaching lipX toward the connecting wallside; thicknessof the base rootof the inner-attaching lipX is thicker than thicknesson the folding pointand thicknessof the base rootof the outer-attaching lipY is thinner than thicknessof the top end; and the outer-attaching lipY follows turn of the inner-attaching lipX and is slidably brought into contact with the door glass

A weather strip includes an installation base member installed on a door opening edge of a retractable roof vehicle; a hollow seal part provided on an outer-cabin side with respect to the installation base member, the seal part makes elastic contact with a top end of a door glass; and a seal lip extending from the base member and having a top end which curves and makes elastic contact with an inner-cabin side surface of the door glass, the seal part and the seal lip forming an eaves-trough-shaped water receiving part, wherein: a wall surface of the hollow seal part, with which the top end of the door glass makes elastic contact, has a head part formed thereon for guiding water to a drainage hole.

Weather strip having a drainage structure

A drainage structure of a die molded parton an upper side of a weather stripincludes an installation base memberinstalled on a front pillarof a retractable roof vehicle, a hollow seal partin elastic contact with a door glass, and a seal lipin elastic contact with an inner-cabin side surface of the door glassand thereby forming an eaves-trough-shaped water receiving part. A lower side wall surfaceof the hollow seal parthas a finformed on an outer-cabin side edgethereof and a bead partformed from the outer-cabin side edgeof the lower side wall surfaceto a position beyond an elastic contact position on the bead part with the door glasstoward an inner-cabin side and the bead partis inclined downward.

Drainage structure of weather strip

A seal structure comprises: a body side weather stripthat includes a die molded partmade of a solid material, and makes elastic contact with an under surface of a storage lid; a storage lid side weather stripthat includes a die molded partthat makes elastic contact with the die molded partfrom above; and a roof side weather stripthat includes a die molded partthat makes elastic contact with a front upper surface of the storage lidand the die molded partfrom above. The die molded partfurther includes a hollow seal partmade of a sponge material, which extends downward and makes elastic contact with the die molded part
