However, depending on the type of vehicle, in order to improve the appearance of the vehicle, the lower end of the front window is pushed out toward the front of the vehicle so that the inclination of the front window is moderated.

In this case, the inclination of the front pillar P also becomes gentle in accordance with the inclination angle of the front window. However, due to the structure of the vehicle body such as a suspension tower provided on the side wall of the engine room, the lower end of the front pillar P is attached to the front window glass. There is a case where it is not possible to advance to the lower end position of 1.
In such a case, if the structure is connected to the vertical pillar at a position before the lower end of the front pillar P reaches the lower end of the front window glass 1, the lower end of the front window molding 3 is shown in FIG. Unlike the structure described above, there is no front pillar P that supports the front window molding 3.

For this reason, if any external force is applied to the lower end of the front window molding 3, the outer lip 32 cannot be supported only by the pressing force of the fixing window 2 against the molding 21, and the main body 30 is not supported by the front window glass. There is a possibility that the vehicle may fall off from the side edge of the vehicle 1 and fall downward, which may affect the appearance of the vehicle, or that wind may enter the vehicle from the gap separated from the front window molding 3 and generate wind noise when the vehicle is running. .

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure of a front window molding which can prevent the lower end from coming off even when an external force is applied to the lower end of the front window molding. It was done.

[0009]
