A molding material made of metal or synthetic resin is attached in order to close the gap generated between the vehicle body and the window glass due to dimensional tolerance, assembly error, etc. and improve appearance. However, since the actual mounting position of the window glass with respect to the vehicle body is not always constant, there is a problem in that the mounted molding is lifted from the outer surface of the vehicle body or retracted too much, and the appearance is significantly impaired. In order to improve such a problem, various molding fixtures such as those disclosed in JP-B-61-22006, JP-B-62-979 and JP-B-62-179915 are proposed. ing.

In recent years, a window structure called a so-called flash surface, which continuously connects adjacent window glasses to each other, has been adopted to improve the appearance of an automobile. In such a window structure, the gaps between the adjacent window glasses and the mounting positions are likely to vary, so that the molding mounted between the edges of both window glasses is fixed at the desired proper position with respect to the vehicle body. Becomes even more difficult to do. Moreover, since the conventional molding fixture described above is suitable for a molding that is interposed between the vehicle body and the windshield, when applied to a molding that is interposed between the windshields, one of the windshields is used. Since the molding is fixed on the basis of the reference, it is not possible to adjust the position on the basis of the vehicle body, and the appearance is also deteriorated.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> In view of the above-described problems of the conventional technology, an object of the present invention is to provide a molding interposed between window glasses mounted on a vehicle body adjacent to each other, to both window glasses. An object of the present invention is to provide a fixture for a molding having a relatively simple structure that can absorb the variation in the gap between them and can be fixed at an appropriate position with respect to the vehicle body while always being in close contact with the surface of the window glass.
