Abstract: A weather strip attaching structure with which a weather strip can be readily attached to a retainer without use of a roller jig or the like. In the structure according to the present invention for attaching a weather strip 50 to a retainer 70 provided along a door opening 10 of a vehicle body, the weather strip 50 includes a hollow sealing portion 56 for being sealingly abutted against the edge portion of a door glass plate 40, and an attaching base portion 52 having engaging protrusions 54a and 54b, which are meant to engage with engaging recesses 74 and 76 of the retainer 70. The hollow sealing portion 56 has at least one inclined side wall 57. The retainer 70 comprises a bottom 72 which is mounted on the vehicle body, the engaging recesses 74 and 76 formed at opposite ends of the bottom 72, and an inclined supporting portion 78 provided above the engaging recess 76, for supporting the inclined side wall 57 of the hollow sealing portion 56 of the weather strip.

Abstract: A synthetic resin fastener for fixing a first member having a first attaching hole formed therein to a second member having a second attaching hole formed therein. The fastener includes a head portion for engagement with a surface-side peripheral edge of the first attaching hole, a seat portion extending from a rear surface of the head portion for engagement with a surface-side peripheral edge of the second attaching hole, and an anchor portion extending from a rear surface of the seat portion for engagement with a back-side peripheral edge of the second attaching hole.

Abstract: A weatherstrip including a strip body provided with base. The base includes a surface to which the weatherstrip is fitted onto a vehicle body and a seal portion formed integrally with the base. An adhesive layer is applied on the fitting surface, for adhering the strip body to the vehicle body. A release liner is provided for protecting the adhesive layer until the weatherstrip is fitted. The release liner contains a synthetic resin non-woven fabric layer and a film layer laminated thereon, and has a high tensile strength.

Abstract: A seal structure for a front door of a motor vehicle provided with a door mirror bracket at a front end of a door belt line is composed of a roof weather strip attached along a door opening of a car body, and a door weather strip attached along a periphery of a door panel. The door weather strip is provided with an end portion covering a lower portion of the door mirror bracket and a front upper end of a door inner panel to which a lower end of the door mirror bracket is jointed. An upper part of the end portion has a thickness large enough to fill the step between the door mirror bracket and the door inner panel whereby the end portion of the door weather strip has a continuous smooth surface from its lower part to its upper part to effect a good seal with the opposed roof weather strip when the front door is closed.

Abstract: A weather strip attached along a door opening of a motor vehicle for sealing between the door opening and a periphery of a door glass has a strip-shaped extruded portion, and a molded end portion jointed to a lower end of the extruded portion. The strip-shaped extruded portion has a longitudinally extending tubular main seal portion and a lip-shaped seal portion which defines a concave groove with the main seal portion. The molded end portion has an extended concave groove extending from the concave groove of the strip-shaped extruded portion to a rear side edge of the molded end portion. During running of a vehicle in rainy weather or during washing of the vehicle, water leaking into the concave groove flows along the extended concave groove and is drained out therefrom without staying at an end of the extended concave groove thereby preventing water from intruding into a vehicle compartment when a vehicle door is opened or closed.

Abstract: A door weather strip attached along a periphery of a rear door panel of a motor vehicle has a strip-shaped tubular main portion and a molded rear end portion connected to a rear end of the strip-shaped tubular main portion. The molded rear end portion is attached over a rear upper end portion of a door inner panel so as to cover a child lock lever hole formed in the rear upper end portion, and has an opening at the position corresponding to the child lock lever hole thereby enabling a child lock lever to slidably project therefrom.

Abstract: A water removing structure of a roof weather strip to be installed to a roof side section and a front pillar section of a hard top car. The roof weather strip is composed of a main seal member which encloses and seals a circumferential edge portion of a door glass, and an auxiliary seal member top end of which abuts on the car inside surface of the door glass for sealing, and top end portion of the front door is provided with a mirror bracket of triangular shape which closes an angle containing portion between the door belt line and the front pillar when the door is closed. A water removing groove is formed on the mirror bracket from position between the abutting portions of the main and auxiliary seal members of the roof weather strip to position leading to the door panel inside of the front door so as to guide water.
