Abstract
Apparatus for preventing water droplets from attaching onto a vehicle side window includes a window molding member along a body panel adjacent to a windshield plate and the side window, to cover a clearance between the windshield plate and the body panel. The molding member has a rear end portion near the side window, which is provided with a flap actuated by an actuator on the rear side of the flap. The flap is movable between a closed position for non-rainy condition and an open position for rainy condition in which the flap opens toward the rear side of the vehicle.
