Abstract

A vehicle press door structure includes: a door frame in which an open portion having a recess-shaped cross-section that is open to an inner peripheral side is formed by a door outer panel, and a door inner panel arranged on a vehicle width direction inside of the door outer panel; a door glass run that has lip portions that respectively extend toward a center side from both side portions of a door glass run main body having a recess-shaped cross-section and slidingly contact a door glass, the door glass run being fit into the open portion with a base portion between both of the side portions of the door glass nm main body opposing an inside wall of the door inner panel; and a seal portion that protrudes from the base portion and contacts the inside wall, and extends in a length direction of the door glass run main body.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A vehicle press door structure comprising:
a door frame in which an open portion having a recess-shaped cross-section that is open to an inner peripheral side is formed by a door outer panel, and a door inner panel arranged on a vehicle width direction inside of the door outer panel;
a door glass run that has lip portions that respectively extend toward a center side from both side portions of a door glass run main body having a recess-shaped cross-section and slidingly contact a door glass, the door glass run being fit into the open portion with a base portion between both of the side portions of the door glass run main body opposing an inside wall of the door inner panel;
a seal portion that protrudes from the base portion and contacts the inside wall of the door inner panel, and extends in a length direction of the door glass run main body, the door glass run has a vehicle outside engaging portion that is engaged with the door outer panel;
a bent extended portion in which the door inner panel curves and extends toward the inner peripheral side is provided on an edge portion of the door inner panel on the vehicle width direction inside, which opposes the base portion; and the bent extended portion, the inside wall, and an inside wall of the door outer panel form a housing and retaining portion that at least houses the base portion, and retains the door glass run main body by pushing the door glass run main body against the inside wall of the door outer panel; and
a vehicle outside seal portion and a vehicle inside seal portion have a shape in which a separation distance therebetween gradually becomes wider toward the inside wall, and a tip end in a protruding direction of the vehicle inside seal portion is elastically pressed against the bent extended portion, wherein
a portion of the tip end in the protruding direction of the vehicle inside seal portion contacts the bent extended portion between a lateral wall and an inclined wall of the housing and retaining portion.

2. The vehicle press door structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the door outer panel is a plate-shaped door outer panel that extends with a direction along a peripheral edge of a window opening as the length direction, and a vehicle outside surface of the door outer panel is a door outer surface, and
the door inner panel is arranged on a vehicle width direction inside of this door outer panel, and a vehicle inside surface of the door inner panel is a door inner surface.

3. The vehicle press door structure according to claim 2 , wherein
the door outer panel includes a vehicle outside engageable portion in which an end portion on the inner peripheral side of the door outer panel is bent toward the vehicle width direction inside; and
a vehicle outside side portion of the door glass run main body, which is positioned on a vehicle width direction outside of both of the side portions of the door glass run main body, includes a vehicle outside engaging portion that engages with the vehicle outside engageable portion, and that fits the door glass run into the open portion.

4. The vehicle press door structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the seal portion includes a vehicle outside seal portion that protrudes from a vehicle width direction outside of the base portion, and a vehicle inside seal portion that protrudes farther from the vehicle width direction inside than the vehicle outside seal portion, the vehicle outside seal portion and the vehicle inside seal portion having a shape in which a separation distance therebetween gradually becomes wider or narrower toward the inside wall.

5. The vehicle press door structure according claim 1 , wherein
a portion on the vehicle width direction inside of the door inner panel is formed with a U-shaped cross-section that is open on a open portion side and protrudes toward the vehicle width direction inside, and an inside wall of an edge portion on the open portion side of the door inner panel is a vehicle inside engageable portion, and a vehicle inside engaging portion that is engaged with the vehicle inside engageable portion and fits the door glass run into the open portion side is provided on an end portion on a side opposite the base portion, of a vehicle inside side portion that is positioned on the vehicle width direction inside of both of the side portions of the door glass run main body.
