Abstract
A window structure for a vehicle body includes upper and lower frame members, right and left side pillar members and corner members formed integrally with the vehicle body, defining a window opening portion. A projecting edge is integrally formed with the upper and lower frame members, right and left side pillar members and corner members over an entire circumference of the window opening portion. An inner wall is formed at an inner periphery of the peripheral edge of the window opening portion. The inner wall has a groove along the entire circumference thereof. A glass retainer is implanted in the groove. A seal rubber is positioned between the glass retainer and the projecting edge. With such an arrangement, the peripheral edges of the surfaces of a window glass are pressingly clamped between the glass retainer and the projecting edge through the seal rubber, thereby providing sufficient rigidity and mechanical strength against various loads imposed to the window structure.
