A watertight apparatus of an exterior component for a vehicle comprising:
- a coupling member coupling an exterior component and a vehicle body panel, and having a coupling groove formed on an outer circumferential surface of a part of the coupling member which passes through the vehicle body panel;
- and
- a watertight pad which is arranged to be in close contact with a bottom of the exterior component and a first side of which is coupled to a part of the vehicle body panel through which the coupling member passes and a second side of which is inserted into the coupling groove.
A watertight apparatus of an exterior component for a vehicle comprising:
- a coupling member for coupling an exterior component and a vehicle body panel and a watertight pad which is arranged to be coupled to the vehicle body panel and fills a gap between the vehicle body panel and the coupling member;
- and
- a moisture discharging groove which is formed on a surface of the exterior component to be in contact with the watertight pad and guides moisture existing in the exterior component, the vehicle body panel, and the watertight pad to be discharged outside the watertight pad.
A watertight apparatus of an exterior component for a vehicle comprising:
- an exterior component;
- a vehicle body panel arranged on a bottom of the exterior component to be spaced therefrom;
- a coupling member fitted into the exterior component and passing through the vehicle body panel so as to couple the exterior component and the vehicle body panel;
- and
- a watertight pad arranged between the exterior component and the vehicle body panel at a region of the vehicle body panel through which the coupling member passes, filling a gap between the exterior component and the vehicle body panel and contacting an outer circumferential surface of the coupling member.
