Disclosed is a glass run for an automobile door which may block noise that has passed through a door glass from easily reaching the passenger's ears, while reducing an increase in the weight and cost of the glass run. In the glass run, a space R is formed between a base end portion 41b of an inner seal lip 41 located inside a cabin and an inner surface 22b of a door glass 22 facing inside the cabin. A facing surface 41d of the inner seal lip 41 facing the inner surface 22b of the door glass 22 is provided with a sound absorbing portion 41h which absorbs noise that has entered the inside of the cabin through the door glass 22.

A molding configured not to be misaligned with a predetermined mounting position provides a vehicle with good appearance, avoids in advance interference with other parts when a door is opened or closed, and reduces wind noise while the vehicle is running. An end cap having a locking part is crimped to a rear end of a molding. An upper glass run has, at its rear end, an insertion slot into which the locking part is inserted. The locking part is inserted in the insertion slot and locked to the rear end of the upper glass run.

An outer lip is continuous with an outer-cabin side wall which has a linear shape of a hollow seal member. The outer lip makes elastic contact with a surface of a body in a direction substantially perpendicular when a door is closed. A rear lip extends from a position close to a base root of the outer lip toward an outer-cabin side and makes elastic contact with a peripheral edge of the door. A thickness of the outer-cabin side wall of the hollow seal member is not less than a thickness of a vertical part of the outer lip; and an inner-cabin side surface of the outer-cabin side wall of the hollow seal member is closer to an inside of the automobile than an inner-cabin side surface of the vertical part of the outer lip.

A cover for closing a vehicle surface opening is provided which has a frame part secured to the underside of the cover on one side at a frame part securing section by an application of plastic foam on the cover, and which contacts the underside of the cover on the other side at a free section of the frame part via at least one spacer. The frame part may also include at least one filling opening on the free section thereof for introducing a reactive plastic material forming the spacer, and the plastic material introduced through the filling opening into a gap between the free section of the frame part secured to the cover and the underside of the cover retains the free section of the frame on the underside of the cover in a positioned and/or fixed manner as a spacer after reacting or curing.

A gap formed in a front portion of a door is easily and reliably filled so that occurrence of noise is reduced. A frame front side portion retaining a glass run front side portion being inserted is provided in a front portion of a window frame. A front side of an outer panel is provided with a mirror base to which a mirror base cover is attached. A rear edge of the mirror base is provided with a rear plate portion extending to a cabin inner side. A gap is formed between the frame front side portion and the rear plate portion. An outer sealing plate portion overlapping with a cabin outer side of the mirror base is provided with a gap filling portion extending downward.

A testing device for detecting a contact pressure of a vehicle side window contacting a window seal arranged on the bodywork. In order to provide a universally applicable testing device that can be used for different vehicle types and models and that allows for reliable determination of the contact pressures, the testing device is designed having a central processing unit comprising a power supply, an evaluation unit and a display unit for showing the determined contact pressure, and having a pressure measuring film that can be removably arranged on the vehicle side window in the region of the window seal and that is connected to the evaluation unit of the central processing unit.
