DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in such a conventional structure, since the window panel 8 is adhesively fixed to the flange 4 via the adhesive 7, in the assembly process of the vehicle body 1,
If the door 12 is opened and closed before the adhesive 7 is cured, the pressure generated in the passenger compartment at this time acts on the window panel 8 and the window panel 8 separates from the adhesive 7. Therefore, it is necessary to wait for the work of assembling the interior parts, which involves opening and closing the door 12, until the adhesive 7 is cured.
As a result, the lead time becomes long, which is one of the causes of lowering work efficiency.

In addition, recently, after installing parts inside the vehicle (for example, interior parts such as instrument panels and seats), installing vehicle outer panels such as roof panels and window panels to improve the assembly and workability of parts inside the vehicle. Although a vehicle assembly process aiming at this is proposed, in such a process, the vehicle is completed with the vehicle outer panel attached, so the window panel attached with adhesive is completely There is a risk that it will go offline in the uncured state, and even in that case, until the adhesive cures, it is not possible to open and close the door 12 etc. for vehicle testing / testing and adjustment, or give vibration, Or, there was a concern that the lead time would be long due to reasons such as restrictions.

The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a window mounting structure capable of shortening the lead time.

Means for Solving the Problems In a structure in which a lower surface of an end portion of a window panel is adhered and fixed to a flange of a roof rail provided in a peripheral portion of a roof panel, the roof rail is covered with the roof panel, and a boss is provided at a portion of the roof panel facing the roof rail. The roof panel is fixed to the roof rail by the boss portion, and a supporting portion for supporting the upper end portion of the window panel directly or indirectly to the roof panel in the flange direction is extended around the boss portion. I was there.

In the above structure, when the lower surface of the end portion of the window panel is bonded to the flange with an adhesive, the upper surface of the end portion of the window panel is supported in the flange direction by the support portion of the roof panel fixed to the roof rail by the boss portion. This holds the end of the window panel on the flange. Therefore, even if the adhesive is in an uncured state, the window panel is maintained without separating from the flange.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. That is, the roof panel 20 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is made of resin, and the boss portion 25 in which the bolt 24 is planted on the lower surface of the peripheral portion.
Is provided. A supporting portion 27 extending around the boss portion 25 is vertically provided at a front end portion of the roof panel 20, and a plurality of locking concave portions 28 are provided on a front surface of the supporting portion 27.

A roof rail 21 is disposed on the lower surface side of the roof panel 20, and the roof rail 21 is formed in a closed cross-sectional shape in which an inner panel 22 and an outer panel 23 are joined.
A flange 4 is provided on the roof rail 21 via a vertically extending portion 3 formed on the outer panel 23. An assembly hole for receiving the boss portion 25 in the outer panel 23.

On the other hand, the dam rubber 6 is attached to the lower surface 9 of the end portion of the window panel 8, and the adhesive 7 is applied thereto. The window panel 8 is adhesively fixed to the flange 4 via the adhesive 7, and a molding 30 is inserted between the edge of the window panel 8 and the support portion 27. The molding 30 has a head portion 34 that comes into contact with the upper surface 33 of the end portion of the window panel 8 and a leg portion 35 provided with a hook 31 that engages with the locking recess 28. Is
A claw 32 that is engaged with the lower end surface of the support portion 27 is formed. Note that reference numeral 40 in the drawing denotes a sealant inserted between the roof panel 20 and the outer panel 23.

In the present embodiment having the above-mentioned configuration, the assembly procedure is to attach the roof panel 20 to the roof rail 21 in advance,
The window panel 8 coated with the adhesive 7 is adhered, and then the nail 32 is bent and deformed, and the leg portion 35 of the molding 30 is formed.
Is inserted between the edge of the window panel 8 and the support portion 27. Then, when the leg portion 35 is inserted to the normal position, the claw 32 is restored to the steady state and locked to the lower end surface of the support portion 27. As a result, the upper surface of the end portion of the window panel 8 is
The supporting portion 27 indirectly supports the flange 4 in the direction of the flange 4 via the molding 30, and the end portion of the window panel 8 is pinched between the head 34 of the molding 30 and the flange 4.

Therefore, even when the door 12 (FIG. 5) is opened and closed before the adhesive 7 is hardened and the pressure generated in the passenger compartment acts on the window panel 8 in the assembly process of the vehicle body, the window panel 8 is The flange 4 against the pressure
Between the head and the head 35. Therefore, even if the door 12 is opened and closed, the window panel 8 does not separate from the adhesive 7, and it is not necessary to wait until the adhesive 7 is hardened to wait for the assembly work of the interior parts that involves opening and closing the door 12. Will be resolved. As a result, immediately after the assembling work of the window panel 8 and the molding 30 is completed, the assembling work of the interior parts accompanied by opening and closing the door 12 can be started, and the lead time can be shortened and the work efficiency can be improved. Becomes

Moreover, in this embodiment, since the molding 30 is directly engaged with the roof panel 20 without using the fastener 5 (FIG. 6), it is possible to reduce the number of parts and reduce the cost. It will be.
