There is provided a door structure of an automobile, capable of being visually checked as to whether or not a peripheral edge of an opaque water/noise isolation sheet is reliably bonded to a door inner panel through the intermediary of a sealer (adhesive). With the door structure, the door inner panel of the automobile is provided with the opaque water/noise isolation sheet for ensuring watertightness and noise isolation after stopping up at least access holes of the door inner panel, and the inner peripheral edge of a transparent film substantially annular in shape is fixedly attached to the outer peripheral edge of the opaque water/noise isolation sheet, thereby forming a structure wherein the outer peripheral edge of the transparent film is bonded to the door inner panel through the intermediary of the sealer (adhesive).
A door structure of an automobile comprising an inner door panel defining therein at least one access hole, an opaque water/noise isolation sheet provided on said inner door panel for ensuring water-tightness and noise isolation by being mounted on said inner door panel so as to close off said access hole, said isolation sheet defining therein a slit of a predetermined width, said slit being disposed in said isolation sheet in surrounding relation with said access hole, and a transparent film having opposite longitudinal edges fixedly attached to said isolation sheet so as to close off said slit and a central portion disposed between said longitudinal edges bonded to said inner door panel.
A door structure of an automobile comprising an inner door panel defining therein at least one access hole, an opaque water/noise isolation sheet provided on said inner door panel for ensuring water-tightness and noise isolation by being mounted on said inner door panel so as to close off said access hole, a collision absorption pad provided on said isolation sheet against which a door interior trim material is butted at the time of assembly, a transparent film defining an inner peripheral edge of a substantially annular shape and fixedly attached to an outer peripheral edge of said isolation sheet and an outer peripheral edge bonded to said door panel, said isolation sheet defining a loose area adjacent a periphery of said absorption pad, said film having a greater width adjacent said periphery of said absorption pad so as to form a widened film portion, said widened film portion being fixed to said door panel with at least one alignment clip inwardly of the bond between said outer peripheral edge of said film and said door panel.
