Abstract
Construction of a door frame in a motor vehicle including a first channel for holding a door weather strip and a second channel contiguous to the first channel on the outboard side for holding a door glass run. The first and the second channels are formed by a continuously bending plate member. A bottom portion of the first channel is a double-ply structure having a rear surface directed toward a compartment and an outer end section. The second channel is formed by a pair of bent extensions extended in two directions, thereby separating each other from the outer end section of the bottom portion. The pair of bent extensions are arc-welded at respective bending corner portions positioned along the outer end section of the bottom portion of the first channel, to integrally connect the pair of bent extensions. The door glass run is mounted along the pair of bent extensions substantially covering and concealing the bending corner portions.
