Description

  The present invention relates to a roof molding that is mounted in a groove of a roof that is formed by bending at least one end of front and rear ends toward the outside in the vehicle width direction.

  Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 7, in a roof R of an automobile, a roof molding 60 is attached to a groove S formed in a joint portion between the roof panel R1 and the roof side panel R2, and the roof panel R1 and the roof side panel are assembled. It is performed to conceal the junction of R2. As shown in FIG. 8, the roof molding 60 includes an upper surface portion 61 that covers the groove S and a leg portion 62 formed on the back side thereof. The molding main body 60A is made of an extruded product of resin on which lips 63, 63 are formed, and the terminal 64A is formed at the end in the longitudinal direction of the molding main body 60A. The terminal portion 64A is formed by injection molding or the like at the cut end portion of the molding body portion 60A, and conceals the cutting end portion of the molding body portion 60A to improve the beauty of the molding end portion. The terminal portion 64A has an attachment portion 65. A part of the leg portion 62 is cut off from the end portion of the molding main body portion 60A over a predetermined length, and the attachment portion 65 is formed in the cut trace.

  As a mounting structure of the roof molding 60, a structure in which a mounting portion 65 of the roof molding 60 is fitted to a clip 70 fixed to the groove S of the roof is known (Patent Document 1, etc.). The clip 70 has a concave cross section having a bottom surface 74 and upstanding side surfaces 71, 71. Inward engaging claws 72, 72 are formed on upper portions of the standing side surfaces 71, 71, and positioning slits 73, 73 are positioned on the standing side surfaces 71, 71 from the upper end to the intermediate position in the longitudinal direction of the clip 70. Is formed. On the other hand, the mounting portion 65 of the roof molding 60 is formed with an engaging projection 66 that engages with the engaging claws 72 and 72 of the clip and a positioning pin 67 that fits into the positioning slit 73 on the side surface. .

  The roof molding 60 is attached by aligning the roof molding 60 so that the positioning pins 67 are correctly positioned above the positioning slits 73 of the clip, and in this state, the roof molding 60 is strongly attached to the clip 70. This is done by pushing. As a result, the engagement protrusion 66 of the roof molding 60 gets over the engagement claw 72 of the clip 70 and enters and fits between the engagement claw 72 and the bottom surface 74 so that the roof molding 60 moves in the vertical direction. The positioning pin 67 is fitted into the positioning slit 73 of the clip 70, and the movement of the molding 60 in the length direction is restricted.

  Although not shown, a metal bracket having a mounting hole is attached to the leg portion of the roof molding by caulking, a stud pin is erected in the groove of the roof of the automobile, and the mounting hole of the metal bracket is used as the stud pin. An attachment structure of a roof molding to be engaged is also known (see Patent Document 2 etc.).

  By the way, the groove S of the roof is formed along the front-rear direction of the roof R and is curved outward in the vehicle width direction at at least one end of the front-rear end of the roof R. The mounted roof molding is bent at the curved portion of S. Reference numeral S1 is a portion where the groove S is curved.

  However, the curved state in the groove S of the roof is not local, but is curved over a long range, so that only the end portion of the roof molding is injection-molded in a bent shape that matches the designed curved state of the groove S. However, when the roof molding is mounted on the groove S, the roof molding cannot be mounted on the curved portion of the groove S, or the roof molding is easily lifted.

  In particular, conventionally, the roof molding has been made to follow the curved state of the groove only by fitting with a clip at a terminal portion of the roof molding.

  However, since the conventional roof molding is forcibly bent outward in the vehicle width direction at the curved portion of the groove of the roof, the terminal portion is easily lifted off due to the restoring force. Further, the bent portion of the roof molding may be displaced inward in the vehicle width direction and may be displaced from the center of the groove, making it unsightly.
