  • Automobile drip molding, mounting construction thereof and method of mounting
    Patent number: 6854784
    Abstract: In an integral drip molding in which a window guard section 21 along the front window W and a roof guard section 22 along the roof R are integrally formed, a lip section that contacts the front window W or the roof R is of a double construction, having an outer lip section 25 and inner lip section 26. The inner lip section 26 in the roof guard section 22 is positioned within a concave groove 28 formed at the portion where the roof R and the side panel 3 are connected, so that water that is forced into the rear section of the window guard section 21 flows into the concave groove 28 through a space S between the two lip sections 25 and 26. Thus overflow of water from the rear end of the window guard section to the side window is reliably prevented.
