Abstract
An automotive door construction is configured so that a door trim 13 is divided into an upper trim 131 and a lower trim 132; a glass elevating mechanism 5 is installed on the inside surface of the lower trim 132 so that the upper end of a guide rail 7 projects upward from the upper edge of the lower trim 132; and the glass elevating mechanism 5 is inserted from the upper end of the guide rail 7 of the glass elevating mechanism 5 through a mount hole 2a in an inner panel 2, and is housed in a door bag portion 1b, and then the lower trim 132 is lowered along the inner panel 2, by which the glass elevating mechanism 5 and lower trim 132 are installed to the inner panel 2. By forming the relatively small mount hole 2a, which is shorter than the total length of the guide rail 7, in the inner panel 2, the modularized glass elevating mechanism 5 is incorporated in the door bag portion 1b. Therefore, the automotive door construction in which a modularized glass elevating mechanism can be incorporated without the formation of a large mount hole in the inner panel can be provided.
