By the way, in the mounting structure of vehicle exterior parts including the mounting structure of the outer mirror device described in Patent Document 1, the distance between the cover constituting the exterior parts and the outer surface of the vehicle body tends to vary due to manufacturing variations of each component and the like. As a result, the appearance of the vehicle may be impaired.

Further, in order to adjust such an interval, it is necessary to modify the design of the portion related to the formation of the interval in each component. In this case, there arises a problem that a large amount of man-hours are required to modify the design.

An object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for an exterior component for a vehicle in which the distance between the outer surface of the vehicle body and the cover can be easily adjusted.

The mounting structure of the vehicle exterior parts for achieving the above object is a structure in which the exterior parts are mounted on the vehicle body, and the exterior parts cover the base attached to the vehicle body and the base from the outer peripheral side. A cover is provided, and a gasket formed of a flexible material is provided between the cover and the vehicle body to seal between the cover and the outer surface of the vehicle body. The main body located between the base and the vehicle body is connected to the outer peripheral side of the main body, and is inclined with respect to the main body so that the outer peripheral side is closer to the vehicle body and is inclined to contact the vehicle body at the tip. It has a portion and a lip portion that bends from the tip of the inclined portion toward the cover and contacts the edge of the cover, and one of the main body portion and the base has a portion on the other. A rib that projects toward the other and contacts the other is provided.

According to the same configuration, since the ribs provided on one of the main body and the base of the gasket are in contact with the other, a pressing force from the base attached to the vehicle body to the vehicle body side acts on the main body. .. Further, the tip of the inclined portion of the gasket contacts the outer surface of the vehicle body, and the lip portion of the gasket contacts the edge of the cover, so that the space between the cover and the outer surface of the vehicle body is sealed.

Here, if the height of the rib is increased, the pressing force acting on the main body of the gasket is increased. As a result, the inclination angle of the inclined portion of the gasket with respect to the outer surface of the vehicle body becomes small, and the bending angle of the lip portion with respect to the inclined portion becomes small. As a result, the distance between the cover and the outer surface of the vehicle body is reduced. Therefore, the distance between the cover and the outer surface of the vehicle body can be easily adjusted.

In the mounting structure of the vehicle exterior component, the base has a protrusion that protrudes toward the gasket, and the main body has an insertion hole through which the tip of the protrusion is inserted. It is preferable that the rib is provided around the insertion hole in the main body.

According to this configuration, the tip of the protrusion provided on the base is inserted into the insertion hole of the gasket, so that the position of the base with respect to the gasket can be adjusted in the direction intersecting the protruding direction of the protrusion.

In the mounting structure of the vehicle exterior parts, it is preferable that a plurality of the ribs are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction of the insertion hole.
According to the same configuration, by changing the height of a part of the plurality of ribs provided around the insertion hole, the inclination angle of the portion of the gasket inclined portion close to the portion and the inclination portion of the lip portion can be changed. The bending angle is changed. This makes it easy to partially adjust the distance between the cover and the outer surface of the vehicle body.

In the mounting structure of the exterior parts for a vehicle, the base has a plurality of protrusions, the main body has a plurality of insertion holes, and the ribs are around each of the insertion holes. It is preferable that the vehicle is provided in.

According to the same configuration, a plurality of ribs for adjusting the distance between the outer surface of the vehicle body and the cover are provided corresponding to the plurality of protrusions and insertion holes. Therefore, the distance between the outer surface of the vehicle body and the cover can be adjusted over a wide range in the extending direction of the edge of the cover.

According to the present invention, the distance between the outer surface of the vehicle body and the cover can be easily adjusted.
