Abstract

A belt molding that achieves a reduced separating/contacting noise includes a protrusion formed on an outer surface of a side portion, which is opposed to a glass, of a molding main body, a seal lip that is formed below the protrusion on the outer surface of the side portion, which is opposed to the glass, of the molding main body and is configured to be in contact with the glass, which rises and lowers, and is capable of being in contact with the protrusion when the glass is fully-closed. A skin is disposed on at least one of contacting portions among a seal lip contacting portion of the protrusion that contacts the seal lip and a protrusion contacting portion of the seal lip that contacts the protrusion. The skin is made of a harder material than a material of the protrusion or the seal lip that include the skin.

Claims (16)

1. A belt molding disposed on an upper edge of an outer panel or an upper edge of an inner panel of a vehicular door including a glass that rises and lowers between the upper edge of the outer panel and the upper edge of the inner panel, the belt molding comprising:

a molding main body installed on the upper edge of the outer panel or the upper edge of the inner panel;

a protrusion formed on an outer surface of a side portion of the molding main body, the side portion being opposed to the glass; and

a seal lip formed below the protrusion on the outer surface of the side portion of the molding main body, the seal lip being configured to be in contact with the glass that rises and lowers, the seal lip being capable of being in contact with the protrusion when the glass is fully-closed, wherein

the belt molding includes a skin on a seal lip contacting portion of the protrusion that contacts the seal lip,

the skin is made of a harder material than a material of the protrusion, and

the skin covers the outer surface of the side portion of the molding main body.

2. The belt molding according to claim 1 , wherein

the belt molding includes a designing lip shorter than the seal lip above the protrusion on the outer surface of the side portion of the molding main body.

3. A belt molding disposed on an upper edge of an outer panel or an upper edge of an inner panel of a vehicular door including a glass that rises and lowers between the upper edge of the outer panel and the upper edge of the inner panel, the belt molding comprising:

a molding main body installed on the upper edge of the outer panel or the upper edge of the inner panel;

a protrusion formed on an outer surface of a side portion of the molding main body, the side portion being opposed to the glass; and

a seal lip formed below the protrusion on the outer surface of the side portion of the molding main body, the seal lip being configured to be in contact with the glass that rises and lowers, the seal lip being capable of being in contact with the protrusion when the glass is fully-closed, wherein

the belt molding includes a skin on a protrusion contacting portion of the seal lip that contacts the protrusion,

the skin is made of a harder material than a material of the seal lip, and

the belt molding includes a designing lip shorter than the seal lip above the protrusion on the outer surface of the side portion of the molding main body.
