Abstract
A structure for mounting a weatherstrip of a sun roof for a vehicle in which a movable lid having the weatherstrip fitted on the outer peripheral edge thereof is mounted at an opening provided in the roof in such a manner that the lid can be opened and closed as desired. The structure comprises: a projection projecting outward from the vertical wall of a flange formed in such a manner as to extend either downward or upward from the outer periphery of the movable lid; a U-shaped retaining portion formed on the weatherstrip and adapted to clamp the flange; and a projection inward from the retaining portion in opposing relation to the projection formed on the flange. Accordingly, it is possible to reliably retain the weatherstrip simply by fitting it on the flange provided along the outer periphery of the movable lid.
