A damping system includes a component for a structure. The component has a first panel with an outer perimeter, a first adhesive disposed about the outer perimeter, a second adhesive disposed along the outer perimeter inward of the first adhesive, and a second panel adhered to the first panel via the first and second adhesives. The first adhesive has a first durometer, and the second adhesive has a second durometer. The first and second adhesives dampen impact forces received upon at least one of the first and second panels.

An inner belt line weather strip includes a body part to be attached to a door interior member of a vehicle and a plurality of protrusion disposed on a surface of the body part. The inner belt line weather strip is to be disposed in a space between the door interior member and a door glass, forming a propagation path of noise from outside a vehicle cabin to the vehicle cabin, to reduce transmission of noise through the space.

The tail gate seal or debris blocking device includes a flap, with adhesive backed fastening tape disposed on a bottom side along each edge of the flap. The adhesive backed fastening tape couples the flap to the tail gate, and in an alternate example allows the tail gate to be removed by disengaging two halves of a removable fastening device that are removably coupled together.

A sealing strip disclosed herein comprises a deformable sealing profile with a teardrop cross-section, a channel running along a length of the sealing strip, multiple parallel aligned reinforcement ribs, and an adhesive layer on a first outwardly curved side on an outer surface of the deformable sealing profile. In an embodiment, the sealing strip comprises one of an E-shaped cross-section and about a 270 degree rotated generally T-shaped cross-section. In another embodiment, the cross-section of the sealing profile comprises a vertically aligned rectangular base portion and dovetail portion extending from a first lateral side of the rectangular base portion near the midway on the rectangular base portion. In another embodiment, the rectangular base portion comprises a first wall portion and a second wall portion extending from a first end and a second end, respectively, of the first lateral side of the rectangular base portion.

A frame assembly for an open roof assembly comprises a first beam, a second beam and a panel. The first beam and the second beam are mechanically coupled in a joint area, thereby forming a seam. A sealant is provided in the joint area for providing a liquid-tight joint. The panel is at least partly arranged over the first beam and the second beam such that the joint area is at least partly overlapped by the panel. An adhesive bead is solely provided on the first beam for supporting the panel on the first beam, the adhesive bead sealing a dry area between the first beam and the panel.
