Conventionally, the decorative structure of the side door for automobiles has been configured as follows.
[0003]
That is, the side door is positioned between the outer and inner panels that face each other in the width direction of the vehicle body and are fixed to each other, and is movable up and down through a slit between the upper end edges of both the panels. And a glass run that extends in the vertical direction and has a lower end portion disposed between the rear end portions of the two panels so that the rear edge of the window glass is slidable in the vertical direction. A pair of left and right cosmetics projecting forward from the middle of the glass run in the vertical direction so as to sandwich the rear end of the window glass in the width direction of the vehicle body and supported by the upper edge of each panel A corner member.
[0004]
In the side door, a decorative door trim is attached to a surface of the inner panel on the passenger compartment side. The door trim includes a trim main body that substantially entirely covers the vehicle interior side surface of the inner panel, and the trim that extends integrally from the upper end edge on the front side of the trim main body and is positioned on the front side of the corner member. A trim extension part fitted over the upper end edge of the inner panel from above is provided.
[0005]
Further, the upper end edge of the rear end portion of the trim body is adjacent to the surface of the corner member on the passenger compartment side in the width direction of the vehicle body, while the weather strip extending along the upper end edge of the inner panel extends the trim. The corner member and the weather strip are continuously arranged in a row in the front-rear direction.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, the above conventional technique has the following problems.
[0007]
First, conventionally, in the side view of the vehicle body, the area of the corner member on the vehicle outer side of the left and right corner members is made larger than that of the corner member on the vehicle compartment side, so that the appearance of the door from the vehicle outer side is obtained. The above-mentioned appearance is improved.
[0008]
However, since the area of the corner member on the vehicle compartment side is smaller than that on the vehicle exterior side, when the corner member on the vehicle exterior side is viewed from the vehicle compartment side, the rear surface of the corner member can be easily seen through the window glass. This is not preferable because it reduces the appearance of the side door from the passenger compartment side.
[0009]
Second, as described above, the corner member is supported on the upper edge of each panel, and the trim extension portion of the door trim is supported on the upper edge of the inner panel in front of the corner member on the cabin side. A weatherstrip extending along the upper edge is attached to the outer surface of the trim extension.
