When an exterior portion is provided on an exterior surface of an extrusion-molded portion of a sealing member having the extrusion-molded portion and a mold-formed portion, while appearance is made favorable, the exterior portion is inhibited from being damaged. A glass run 20 includes an upper glass run edge 20a which is extrusion-molded, a rear connecting part 20f which is molded integrally with one end portion of the upper glass run edge 20a, and an exterior portion 29 provided on an exterior surface of the upper glass run edge 20a. A surface Si of the rear connecting part 20g on an outside of a passenger compartment is located further outside than a surface of the exterior portion.

A weather strip structure for vehicle may include a body weather strip mounted on an opening flange and sealing a gap between a vehicle body and the doors; and an upper weather strip mounted on a roof panel and sealing a gap between the roof panel and the vehicle body; a bent portion into which a cowl cross bar is inserted and which is curvedly mounted along the vehicle body at a lateral side of a mounting unit mounted on the vehicle body; a rectilinear portion which rectilinearly connects end portions of the bent portion along the opening flange; and a frame portion which is connected to intersection points between the bent portion and the rectilinear portion and defines a frame of the body weather strip, wherein a hollow space is formed between the rectilinear portion and the bent portion, and the mounting unit is positioned inside the hollow space.

The subject invention includes a fixed window assembly for a vehicle comprising a fixed glass, a trim portion having a polymeric base and a decorative member bonded to the polymeric base. An encapsulation is coupled to the fixed glass and the polymeric base to mount the trim portion in a spaced and adjacent position relative to the fixed glass. A method of manufacturing is also provided using first and second molding apparatuses. Polymeric material is injected into a first mold cavity of the first molding apparatus to form the polymeric base bonded to the decorative member. Polymeric material is injected into a second mold cavity of the second molding apparatus to form the encapsulation coupled to the fixed glass and simultaneously coupled to the polymeric base to mount the trim portion in an adjacent position to the fixed glass.
