Sealing structure for automobile door
It is an object of the present disclosure to improve installation workability by reducing the risk of installation failures of a belt line sealing member in the case where a vertical glass run and a sealing member are installed separately to a door panel. A belt line sealing member 20 includes a panel insertion groove 24 opening downward. The belt line sealing member 20 includes an end portion provided with a stopper portion 51 reducing the risk of rim portions 111 a and 111 b of a notch 111 of an inner peripheral flange 109 entering the panel insertion groove 24.
1. A sealing structure for an automobile door of an automobile,
the automobile door being a door panel comprised of a press-formed article and including a window frame supporting a window glass,
the window frame having an inner peripheral side on which an inner peripheral flange is located,
the inner peripheral flange including a lower rim portion which forms a belt line extending in a longitudinal direction of the automobile, and a vertical rim portion continuous with the lower rim portion and extending upward,
the belt line having a corner close to the vertical rim portion, the corner being provided with a notch, and
a rim portion of the notch including an inclined rim portion which inclines downward toward the vertical rim portion, and an arc-shaped rim portion which is continuous with an end portion of the inclined rim portion closer to the vertical rim portion and extends so as to form an arc shape,
the sealing structure comprising:
a glass run vertically extending on the vertical rim portion of the inner peripheral flange, and
a belt line sealing member provided on the belt line of the inner peripheral flange and extending in the longitudinal direction of the automobile,
wherein
the belt line sealing member includes a longitudinal end portion,
the longitudinal end portion is in contact with the glass run,
the glass run includes a covering plate covering the inner peripheral flange,
the covering plate includes a region corresponding to the belt line,
the region includes a lower end portion located at least near the inclined rim portion or the arc-shaped rim portion of the notch of the inner peripheral flange,
the belt line sealing member is provided with a panel insertion groove into which the belt line of the inner peripheral flange is inserted,
the panel insertion groove opens downward,
and
the longitudinal end portion is provided with a stopper portion, which reduces the possibility of the inclined rim portion or the arc-shaped portion of the notch of the inner peripheral flange from entering the panel insertion groove.
2. The sealing structure of the automobile door of claim 1 , wherein
the belt line sealing member includes an inside wall and an outside wall, each provided vertically,
the inside wall and the outside wall sandwich the belt line of the inner peripheral flange in a transverse direction of the automobile, and
the stopper portion bridges the inside wall and the outside wall of the belt line sealing member, and
the inside wall and the outside wall are coupled by the stopper portion.
3. The sealing structure of the automobile door of claim 2 , wherein
the belt line sealing member includes an upper wall continuous with an upper portion of the inside wall and an upper portion of the outside wall, and
the stopper portion is integrated with the upper wall.
4. The sealing structure of the automobile door of claim 1 , wherein
the stopper portion includes a lower end surface inclined in a same direction as the inclined rim portion of the notch.
5. The sealing structure of the automobile door of claim 1 , wherein
the belt line sealing member includes
a seal portion made of an elastic material and in contact with the window glass, and
a core member made of a rigid material harder than the elastic material used for the seal portion, and
the core member is not longitudinally extendable.
