An object of the present disclosure is to provide a technique for improving the ease of attaching a door component to a door panel. A door component includes: a grommet that is attached to a door panel so as to traverse a portion of a peripheral edge; and a weather strip that is attached to the door panel so as to extend along a peripheral edge. The grommet includes a first tubular part and a second tubular part that are formed so as to be open in mutually different directions. The weather strip includes a first end part and a second end part along a longitudinal direction. The first end part of the weather strip is fitted into the first tubular part and the second end part is fitted into the second tubular part.

A vehicle includes a vehicle body including: an elongated frame made of a first material and extending along a door opening; and an elongated rail made of a second material having a linear expansion coefficient different from that of the first material, the rail covering the frame and extending along the frame, the rail being configured to abut with a weather strip when a door closes the door opening. The rail is fixed to the frame at a plurality of fixation parts that includes: a first fixation part provided in an intermediate part of the rail in the longitudinal direction of the rail; and second fixation parts provided, respectively, in opposite end parts of the rail in its longitudinal direction. In the longitudinal direction of the rail, backlash widths at the second fixation parts are larger than a backlash width at the first fixation part.

An inner-cabin side part of a hollow part of a protector with a sensor extends between a top end and an inner-cabin side end with an inner-cabin side apex closest to an interior of an automobile body. A distance is shorter between the inner-cabin side apex and the inner-cabin side end than between the top end and the inner-cabin side apex. An outer-cabin side part of the hollow part extends between the top end and an outer-cabin side end with an outer-cabin side apex closest to an exterior of the automobile body. A distance is shorter between the outer-cabin side apex and the outer-cabin side end than between the top end and the outer-cabin side apex. Thicknesses of an outer coat of the hollow part are increased toward the apexes from the top end, and are uniform between the apexes and the inner-cabin side end and the outer-cabin side end.

A sealing assembly for a door of a vehicle includes a housing provided on the door, a sealing slider retractably mounted in the housing, a drawing-out device for urging the sealing slider away from the housing, an inserting device for urging the sealing slider into the housing, and a weather strip for air-tight sealing with the sealing slider when the door is closed, where the drawing-out device includes an operating lever rotatably installed on the housing to push an end portion of the sealing slider away from the housing and a support to rotate the operating lever in response to closing of the door, where the sealing slider is slidably movable between a first door and a second door.

The invention relates to an interior swing door, preferably for a vehicle, comprising: a door panel and a portal, in which a swinging motion into an interior is executable by the door panel to open or close the interior, wherein, in the swinging motion, the door panel travels at least partly beyond an area formed by the portal and the door panel in the closed state, wherein the portal comprises a sealing member horizontally extending in an upper area, which, in the closed state, overlies the interior swing door in an upper area of the door panel, wherein the door panel comprises at least one door panel element and at least one vertically extending sealing profile that is mounted at the door panel element and, in the closed state, comes to rest against another sealing profile or the portal, wherein the vertically extending sealing profile has a lower height than the door panel element so that the vertically extending sealing profile, in a swinging motion of the door panel, travels through underneath the horizontally extending sealing member without contacting the horizontally extending sealing member.

A vehicle may include: a body including an opening; a door constituted of metal, the door being configured to open and close the opening; a rail garnish constituted of resin, the rail garnish being disposed along an edge of the opening; and a seal member disposed along an edge of the door and configured to seal a gap between the door and the body when the door closes the opening. The rail garnish may include a fixed portion, a contact portion, and a first bend and a second bend disposed between the fixed portion and the contact portion. The first bend and the second bend each may extend along the contact portion in a longitudinal direction of the rail garnish and are bent in different directions. A thickness of the rail garnish may be locally small at one or both of the first bend and the second bend.

An object of the present disclosure is to generate a click feeling, and thus improve workability, in attaching a trim strip member to a sealing member, and to increase a retaining force retaining the trim strip member to the sealing member after the attachment, without an increase in the number of components and the number of assembling steps. A trim strip member 40 includes an upper engagement portion 42 and a lower engagement portion 43 at an upper portion and a lower portion of the trim strip member, respectively. A side of a sealing member body 21 facing outside of a passenger compartment includes a portion made of a rigid material that is harder than an elastic material, and is provided with an upper protrusion 25a and a lower protrusion 25b spaced apart from each other in a vertical direction, the upper protrusion 25a and the lower protrusion 25b respectively engaging with the upper engagement portion 42 and the lower engagement portion 43 of the trim strip member 40.
