A concave section at least a part thereof is formed by an outer edge portion of the mirror seal and that opens toward a side of a door is provided at an inner side of a front edge portion of the mirror base. A door weatherstrip has a wind entering restriction wall that crosses a front side of the door-side panel and protrudes in a vehicle outer side than the door-side panel, and that is inserted into the concave section.

First claim

What is claim is:

1. A mounting portion structure of a door mirror, comprising:
a door-side panel;
a door mirror having a mirror base attached to the door-side panel and a mirror seal disposed between the mirror base and the door-side panel; and
a door weatherstrip attached to an outer edge portion of a door and configured to close a space between the door and a door opening section of a vehicle body,
wherein a concave section at least a part thereof is formed by an outer edge portion of the mirror seal and that opens toward a side of the door is provided at an inner side of a front edge portion of the mirror base, and
the door weatherstrip has a wind entering restriction wall that crosses a front side of the door-side panel and protrudes in a vehicle outer side than the door-side panel, and that is inserted into the concave section.

2. The mounting portion structure of a door mirror according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the wind entering restriction wall is smaller than a width of the concave section in a forward/rearward direction.

3. The mounting portion structure of a door mirror according to claim 1 , wherein the mirror seal includes:
a seal main body section extending along the door-side panel;
an outside extension section extending from a front end portion of the seal main body section toward the vehicle outer side; and
a front extension section extending forward from an end portion of the outside extension section at the vehicle outer side and having a front end portion thereof abutting a front-side circumferential wall of the mirror base, and
the concave section is formed so as to be surrounded by the circumferential wall of the mirror base, and the outside extension section and the front extension section of the mirror seal.

4. The mounting portion structure of a door mirror according to claim 3 , wherein the front extension section has an easily deformable section, which is more easily deformed than the other area of the front extension section, formed at a front end portion thereof, and
the easily deformable section is abutted with the circumferential wall of the mirror base.

5. The mounting portion structure of a door mirror according to claim 4 , wherein the easily deformable section is formed in a lip shape extending forward and toward an inner side of the vehicle.

6. The mounting portion structure of a door mirror according to claim 5 , wherein a second outside extension section extending toward the vehicle outer side and abutting with the mirror base in an extension direction of the second outside extension section is provided so as to extend from the front extension section.
