Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wind molding attachment clip that is attached between the peripheral edge of a front windshield or rear windshield of an automobile and a vehicle body panel.

2. Description of the Related Art In general, the front windshield or rear windshield of an automobile is fixed to a vehicle body panel using an adhesive. A gap may occur due to assembly errors, etc., and a structure is known in which a window molding made of metal or resin is attached between the windshield and the vehicle body panel in order to hide this gap. As a mounting method for the wind molding mentioned above, a method is usually used in which a mounting member such as a stud is provided protruding from the vehicle body panel and the base of the wind molding is secured to this mounting member. Attachment means using resin or metal clips prepared for this purpose are known. As an example of such a clip, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-979 discloses a clip main body 2゜2 extending approximately in a dogleg shape on both sides of a rectangular plate l, as shown in Figs. 6 and 7.
are provided to form window glass holding parts 3, 3 at both ends of the clip main body 2.2, while a pair of arms 4.4 are provided protruding from the upper end of the square plate 1 toward the window glass side, and A structure of a clip IO in which a molding engagement hook 5 is provided protrudingly from the back surface of a plate 1 is disclosed. 8 and 9 show a state in which a wind molding 8 is attached between a vehicle body panel 6 and a windshield 7 using the clip 10 described above. It is fixed to the vehicle body panel 6, and the window glass 7 is fixed to the vehicle body panel 6 by the holding part 3 of the clip 10.
While holding the end 7a of the arm 4.4, the tip 4a of the arm 4.4
is engaged with the flange 8a of the wind molding 8. Furthermore, there is a ratchet type hook 8b on the inner surface of the wind molding 8.
is integrally molded, and an engaging hook 5 protruding from the back surface of the rectangular plate I is engaged with this hook 8b. By using the clip 10 described above, the window molding 8 can be attached between the windshield 7 and the vehicle body panel 6.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in such a conventional automobile window molding mounting structure, after the clip IO is fitted to the wind molding 8, the clip l is attached as shown in FIG. 1θ.
When inserting the clip IO between the vehicle body panel 6 and the windshield 7, a portion of the clip IO is inserted into the surface portion 6 of the vehicle body panel 6.
There is a problem in that the scratches 12 due to friction may be formed on the surface portion 6a due to strong rubbing against the surface portion 6a, which may cause rusting or the like. That is, since it is inherently undesirable to widen the gap Q between the vehicle body panel 6 and the windshield 7, it is customary to make the gap Q as small as possible. Sufficient space cannot be secured, and the scar 12 described above will occur when the wind molding 8 is inserted. To address the above,
As shown in Fig. 11, the clip lO and the wind molding 8
It is also conceivable to insert the wind molding 8 into the gap Q while tilting it at a predetermined angle in advance, but since the wind molding 8 has a bend along the longitudinal direction, the insertion work of the wind molding 8 becomes difficult and the assembly is difficult. It has the disadvantage that the value decreases.

Therefore, the present invention solves the problems of conventional car window molding attachment clips, makes it easy to assemble the wind molding, and prevents damage to the car body panel during the work. The object of the present invention is to provide a clip for attaching a wind molding without the need for a wind molding.

In a wind molding attachment clip that attaches and fixes a wind molding to the peripheral edge of a windshield that is fixed to a vehicle body panel via an adhesive, the clip body is elastically deformed toward the vehicle body panel before being attached and fixed to the clip, and This clip for attaching a wind molding is provided with a means for maintaining the elastically deformed state and a means for releasing the elastically deformed state of the clip body when the clip is attached to the peripheral edge of the windshield.

After fitting the window molding to the working clip, when the clip is attached to the peripheral edge of the window glass, the clip main body before attachment is elastically deformed toward the vehicle body panel and maintained in this state. Therefore, since the clip body has a flatter shape than normal, it can pass through the gap e between the vehicle body panel and the windshield without any resistance, and there is no risk of causing scratches on the vehicle body panel. Next, the deformation of the attached clip body is canceled by the elastic deformation canceling means and returns to the normal clip shape, thereby achieving the effect that the window molding is supported and fixed to the peripheral edge of the window glass.
