Automotive door sealing structure
The present disclosure improves sealing properties between a glass run and a sealing member provided at an inner peripheral flange of a belt line, if the sealing member of the belt line and the glass run are individual members, to provide high sound insulation properties. The belt line sealing member includes an upper sealing lip and a lower seal lip, which are vertically spaced apart from each other. At an end of the belt line sealing member, a molded part is continuously provided from the upper sealing lip through an inner wall to the lower sealing lip.
1. An automotive door sealing structure, comprising:
a glass run assembled to a window frame of an automotive door to extend vertically in sliding contact with an edge of a window glass, the window frame supporting the window glass that moves up and down; and
a belt line sealing member assembled closer to an inside of a vehicle cabin than to the window glass at an inner peripheral flange of a belt line of the automotive door to extend in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle, wherein
the belt line sealing member includes an upper sealing lip and a lower seal lip, which extend in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle in sliding contact with an interior surface of the window glass, and are vertically spaced apart from each other,
at one end of the belt line sealing member in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, a die-molded part that operates to open and close and coming into contact with the glass run in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle is continuously provided from the upper sealing lip through an inner wall to the lower sealing lip,
the die-molded part includes a lower projection projecting upward from one end of the lower sealing lip in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and coming into contact with the glass run in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and
a cutout extending downward from a connector provided between the lower protrusion and an intermediate part.
2. The automotive door sealing structure of claim 1 , wherein
the lower projection is deformed to bend upward and toward the inside of the vehicle cabin in contact with the window glass, and
when the lower projection bends upward and toward the inside of the vehicle cabin in contact with the window glass, the cutout has a width narrower than the width before bent.
3. The automotive door sealing structure of claim 2 , wherein
when the lower projection bends upward and toward the inside of the vehicle cabin in contact with the window glass, an upper end of the cutout closes.
4. The automotive door sealing structure of claim 1 , wherein
the lower sealing lip includes a deformation starting part as a starting point, at which the lower sealing lip is in contact with the window glass to be deformed to bend upward and toward the inside of the vehicle cabin, and
a lower end of the cutout is continuous with the deformation starting part.
5. The automotive door sealing structure of claim 4 , wherein
the deformation starting part is a recess extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and
the lower end of the cutout is continuous with the recess.
