Abstract:
A vehicle door frame which forms the window frame of a vehicle door is provided with: an outer member which forms a glass-run housing section; and a long inner member which has a body for forming the framework of the window frame and which is joined to the outer member. The outer member is provided with: an edge which forms a part of the glass-run housing section; and a return bend which has a substantially U-shaped cross-section, is provided at the edge, and has an opening open toward the inside of the vehicle. The inner member has: an extension section which extends toward the side of the body which faces the outside of the vehicle; and an edge which is provided to the extension section and which is inserted in the opening of the return bend. The edge of the extension section has a front end surface. A protrusion is formed on the front end surface so as to protrude toward the outside of the vehicle, and is disposed at a predetermined position of the inner member in the longitudinal direction thereof. The protrusion can be melted by heating by the concentration of electric current during resistance welding, and is configured to pressure-bond the front end surface and a facing section of the return bend, the facing section facing the front end surface. The protrusion has a tip which has an arc-like cross-sectional shape protruding toward the outside of the vehicle.
