A roof weather strip includes a first panel and a second panel, and integrally includes: a mounting base; and a seal portion elastically contactable with an edge portion of the first panel. The mounting base includes: a first lip having a substantially J-shaped cross section, which covers an upper fitting protrusion of a holder portion from above a vehicle, extends downward of the vehicle, and abuts on at least both side surfaces of a fitting recess of the holder portion; and a second lip having a substantially transverse v-shaped cross section, which covers a lower fitting protrusion of the holder portion from below the vehicle, extends upward of the vehicle, and abuts on at least one of a lower surface of the fitting recess of the holder portion and a side surface of the lower fitting protrusion on the second panel side.

A covering assembly for a motor vehicle has a cover and a cover compartment lid for closing a cover compartment. The cover has a tensioning hoop which is pretensioned in the direction of the cover compartment lid in the closed state of the cover. A tensioning hoop seal is arranged on the cover in the region of the tensioning hoop in order to seal a gap between the cover and the cover compartment lid. A sealing surface is formed directly by the surface of the cover compartment lid.

An articulating front top cover assembly adapted for connecting to a vehicle in sealing engagement with a hard top portion of a roof of the vehicle. A pivotal portion includes a multi-bar over-center linkage arrangement. The pivotal portion is movable between at least a closed position over the front vehicle compartment and an open position with a passive lock from the multi-bar linkage assembly for an open air feel.

A door rail surround assembly incorporating an anti-rotation feature added to a door rail clamp of the assembly. The anti-rotation feature is a net fit cross vehicle with a hole in the vehicle sport bar thereby eliminating any free movement of the door rail clamp assembly. A second clamp is rotatable for also receiving a fastener of the door rail clamp. A clamp load is applied to the vehicle when the fastener is inserted and torqued to its predetermined value. This clamping load prevents any free movement in the door rail clamp assembly when the door seal load is applied when the vehicle door is closed.
