Disclosed are vehicle seal retainers, methods for making and methods for using vehicle seal retainers, and motor vehicles with pillar seal retainers. Disclosed, for example, is a seal retainer carrier for mounting a seal structure between the outer applique and body structure of a motor vehicle. The seal structure includes a flexible body with two seal lips. The outer applique has a tab and a flange. The seal retainer carrier includes a base attached to the vehicle's body structure. A first interface flange projects from the base and attaches to the outer applique's flange. A second interface flange projects from the base and includes a protruding rib attached to a second seal lip. This rib fits into a recessed groove of the seal structure such that the seal mounts between the outer applique and body structure with a hook of a first seal lip seated against the outer applique's tab.

A sealing system for an openable panel, an openable panel for a vehicle provided with such a sealing system, and a method for assembling and disassembling the seal of the sealing system.

A vehicle door frame includes a pillar, a frame molding, and a welded part. The pillar has a first abutting surface and a first outer surface. The upper frame has a second abutting surface and a second outer surface. The frame molding extends along the upper frame to cover an outside of the upper frame in the lateral direction of a vehicle, and has an inner surface facing the first outer surface and the second outer surface with a gap. The welded part is located at a boundary between the first outer surface and the second outer surface, extends along the first abutting surface and the second abutting surface, faces the inner surface, and bonds the pillar and the upper frame together.

A mounting structure for a waterproof rubber strip of a vehicle cover includes a vehicle cover and an edge rubber strip. A flat adhesive surface is provided on the edge rubber strip. The edge rubber strip is sealingly adhered and fixed with the vehicle cover through the flat adhesive surface. The mounting structure further includes a first joint. The edge rubber strip is provided with an L-shaped engaging portion. The first joint is fixedly mounted on the vehicle cover. An end of the engaging portion is embedded in the first joint, and the engaging portion is located between the first joint and the vehicle cover. In addition, the edge rubber strip is provided with the L-shaped engaging portion, and the first joint cooperates with the vehicle cover to clamp the engaging portion, so that the edge rubber strip is sealed and fixed on the vehicle cover.

Some embodiments are directed to a door lining assembly for use with a vehicle having a vehicle interior, a vehicle door, and weather-stripping configured to facilitate sealing of the door in a closed position. The door lining assembly can include a front portion connected to a lower section of the vehicle door. The front portion can include a flange that is connected to the weather-stripping. The door lining assembly can also include an elongated transition portion that extends in a vehicle longitudinal direction and is attached to the front portion and the lower section of the vehicle door. The transition portion can be structured to have a gradually varying depth in a lateral direction of the vehicle, such that one end of the transition portion that is connected to the front portion extends further into the vehicle interior than the opposite longitudinal end.

The invention is relevant to the field of machinery, in particular to a bed cover of vehicle. A fully embedded cover of pick-up truck includes a rail device which is fixed to the inner wall of the hopper of the pickup truck, a front bar, four cover plates, a rear bar and four locks. This invention provides the pickup truck a newly designed fully embedded bed cover which is convenient to use. In this design, the structure of the front bar, the cover plate and the rear bar formed a seal bed cover, so as to prevent rainwater permeating into the cargo hopper. Since the bed cover is built in the cargo hopper, the car body is relatively flat, thus improving the user's use experience.
