A die molded part of a glass run connects an upper part of a second extrusion molded part closer to a pillar with an end of a first extrusion molded part closer to a roof. An insert panel is embedded in the die molded part with a concave shaped part of the insert panel exposed toward an exterior of an automobile. An outer garnish couples to the die molded part from the exterior of the automobile by fitting a convex shaped part of the outer garnish into the concave shaped part of the insert panel with a second anchoring part on the convex shaped part engaging with a first anchoring part on the concave shaped part. The concave shaped part includes a through hole which penetrates the insert panel in an inner-cabin and outer-cabin direction. A lid closes an inner-cabin side of the through hole.

A door sash surrounding a window opening of a vehicle door, the door sash including: a design part located on a vehicle exterior side; a frame part located on a vehicle interior side with respect to the design part so as to form a sash interior space surrounded by a wall; and a mounting part located inside the sash interior space and to which door-related components can be mounted. According to this door sash, it is possible to achieve high functionality around the vehicle door while improving the space efficiency of the vehicle door by effectively utilizing the sash interior space as a portion to which the door-related components are mounted.

A vehicle door glass elevating/lowering device performs elevating/lowering operation of window glass by a driving force of a drive source along a sash member along one of front and rear edges of the window glass in a door sash forming a window opening. The glass elevating/lowering device includes: a guide rail on the sash member; a slider having a glass support secured to the glass and a sliding part guided movably in the elevating/lowering directions with respect to the guide rail; and a transmission member that transmits the driving force of the drive source, in which a first sliding part regulated in position by the guide rail in at least one direction of the vehicle front-rear directions and a second sliding part regulated in position by the guide rail in at least the other direction of the vehicle front-rear directions are provided at mutually different positions in the elevating/lowering directions.

A reinforced flexible seal (101 and 201) for sealing a gap or space, such as a gap or space between an edge of a wall, fence, door, door leaf or wing, port or window and a surface adjacent to the wall, fence, door, door leaf or wing, port or window is provided. The flexible seal may be used to provide a barrier below a door leaf or door wing in order to avoid entrance of for example unwanted animals. The reinforced flexible seal has a width and a length and comprises a flexible outer material (102a, 102b, 202a, 202b), and a plurality of elongated metal wires (103, 203) embedded in the flexible outer material and running substantially in a longitudinal direction of the reinforced flexible seal with at least part of said elongated metal wires arranged at a distance to each other. For at least one of the embedded elongated metal wires, at least part of said metal wire holds several bent, bulging or wavelike deformations in the longitudinal direction of the wire.

A weather strip made of an elastic material includes an insert member having a plurality of through holes which is embedded in a corner portion of the weather strip. In the corner portion, a clip insertion hole in which a clip for attaching the corner portion to the automobile body is insertable is formed, and in the insert member, a clip hole is formed in a position corresponding to the clip insertion hole. In the outer peripheral portion of the clip hole, an additional hole communicating with the clip hole is formed, and the elastic materials of which the corner portion is made and that are situated on the obverse and reverse sides of the insert member are united together through the additional hole.

A system for improving the alignment of building product frame members. The system includes a first and second clip member each with an arcuate edge releasably positioned into a channel within the opposed frame members. A longitudinally extending banding strap looped through openings in both first and second clip member. The first end of the longitudinally extending banding strap is inserted into a banding strap tensioning apparatus and tension is applied to the first end as well as to a longitudinally disposed segment of the banding strap that is also inserted into the banding strap tensioning apparatus. Once the specified span is achieved, the overlapping first end and longitudinally disposed segment are bonded together using the banding member tensioning apparatus thereby preventing movement of the first and second frame members away from one another. Sealant is applied to the frame members and the banding strap clip members are removed.

A seal arrangement for sealing a corner region of a window against a vehicle body component of a motor vehicle. The seal arrangement defines a seal plane, a first seal axis and a second seal axis which extends transversely with respect to the latter. A fastening section serves for fastening to the vehicle body component. A seal section has a sealing lip which can be deflected elastically transversely with respect to the seal plane when the corner region of the window comes into contact with the sealing lip, and which extends arcuately from the first seal axis to the second seal axis. The sealing lip is configured as a molded sealing lip over its entire arcuate extent.

A door-and-window system having a handle component (121), a transmission component (123) and a force receiving portion (12231). When the handle component (121) is operated, the force receiving portion (12231) moves along a first guide groove (12211) via the transmission component (123), and at the same time a driving portion (12232) moves along a second guide groove (12221). Due to a relationship between a guide member (1224) and a third guide groove (12212), a first base seat (1221) translates relative to a second base seat (1222) along a direction of the third guide groove (12212), such that a movable door-and-window (11) can abut tightly against or move away from a sealing member (24) on a door-and-window mounting profile (2).
