Abstract
A second door part is provided which is detachably mounted at the outside surface of a first door part which is openable and closable in relation to an automobile body. The second door part is engaged with the first door part by a locking mechanism. By operating the locking mechanism, redressing of the door by selectively attaching different types of second door parts can be carried out. Additionally, maintenance of mechanisms within the door can be easily performed. When it is desired to provide a window glass which can be raised and lowered for the second door part, a window glass raising/lowering mechanism having a lever arm is mounted to the first door part and a window glass is mounted to the second door part, a glass holder is fixed to a lower end of the window glass and the lever arm and the glass holder are engaged with each other. When the second door part is attached to and detached from the first door part, the lever arm and the glass holder are also disengaged from one another.
