Weather strip, weather strip attachment structure, and weather strip attachment method
The present invention provides a weather strip which can be easily attached to a grille of an automobile without the need of a clip. The weather strip is a weather strip which seals a gap between a grille and a hood of an automobile and includes (i) an attachment wall to be attached to the grille, (ii) a sealing wall which comes in elastic contact with the hood, and (iii) an insertion section to be inserted into a through hole. The insertion section includes a rear locking portion and a front locking portion which are locked in the through hole.
GLAZING SYSTEM AND SEALING METHODS
Systems and methods including various glazing devices are provided for attaching a window structure to a frame of a vessel or vehicle to form a seal therebetween.
Vehicle door glass assembly and method for regulating position of door glass
A vehicle door glass assembly capable of regulating a position of a door glass may include a door frame forming a vehicle door; a garnish joined to a periphery of the door frame to finish an outer side face of the door frame; the door glass installed so as to be raised or lowered within the door frame; a glass run assembled to the door frame to support a periphery of the door glass; and a slider installed in an inner side face of the door glass to guide a raising or lowering movement of the door glass, where the garnish is provided with a restraint device configured to prevent the slider from moving in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle.
Door outside belt for vehicle
A hybrid-type door outside belt for a vehicle utilizes different materials for a skin layer of a skin body that is mounted to an upper end of a door panel and a main wing that is moved by contacting the door glass, the skin layer of the skin body being made of a material having excellent scratch-resistance, and the main wing being made of a material having excellent compression set (deformation).
Seal assembly
A seal assembly includes a body portion defining a mounting channel for receiving a vehicle flange. A base of the body portion defines an outer surface of the body portion with the outer surface defining a first axis of curvature adapted to correspond with a contour of the flange. The seal assembly further includes a sealing lip portion co-extruded with the body portion and defining a notch having a notch configuration, an element disposed in the notch and pre-formed to have an element configuration corresponding to at least a part of the notch configuration, and a molding material molded to a back surface of the element, secured to the sealing lip portion within the notch, and extending across the notch, with the element and the molding material defining a contour lip portion that in combination with the sealing lip portion defines an external sealing lip of the seal assembly.
Cab chassis vehicle and method of assembling
A cab chassis vehicle and a method of assembling a cab-chassis vehicle are provided. A chassis is sub-assembled by connecting a mounting bracket for a truck body to a frame rail via a fastener, installing a chassis-side vehicle harness, and installing a chassis-side body wiring harness. A cab is sub-assembled by installing a connector plate to cover an aperture on an outer panel of the cab, installing a cab-side body wiring harness, connecting the cab-side body wiring harness to the connector plate, and installing a cab-side vehicle harness. The cab is assembled to the chassis to provide a cab-chassis vehicle by connecting the chassis-side body wiring harness to the connector plate, connecting the chassis-side vehicle harness to the cab-side vehicle harness.
Roof Arrangement, Roof Module, and Motor Vehicle Having a Sealing Arrangement
A roof module for forming a motor vehicle roof, the roof module having a panel component whose outer surface at least partially forms the roof skin of the vehicle roof, and an opening in which at least one environment sensor is disposed, the environment sensor being configured to send and/or receive electromagnetic signals for detecting the vehicle environment. The at least one environment sensor is displaceable between a retracted position and a deployed position. A weather strip is disposed circumferentially at the opening, and the at least one environment sensor may have a cover which is in contact with the weather strip when the at least one environment sensor is in the retracted position to seal the opening, and a contact surface which is in contact with the weather strip when the at least one environment sensor is in the deployed position to seal the opening.

Automotive door sealing member
Sealing performance is improved without deteriorating appearance. A pillar P side of a roof-side seal lip 34 and a roof R side of a pillar-side seal lip 43 are spaced apart from each other in a transverse direction of a vehicle when a door 110 is open. The pillar P side of the roof-side seal lip 34 is formed so as to be closer to the roof R side of the pillar-side seal lip 43 toward an end of the pillar P side. When the door 110 is closed, the roof-side seal lip 34 comes into contact with the pillar-side seal lip 43.
Vehicle door carrier with integrated edge seal and method of manufacture
A door carrier includes a body formed of a first material, the body including an edge extending around a perimeter of the body. The door carrier includes a seal having a proximal end affixed to the edge and a distal end spaced from the proximal end, the seal being formed of a second material more resilient than the first material.
