A clip is disclosed for securing a molding to a flange of a vehicle. The clip has a first side wall and a second side wall each comprising an interior surface and an opposing exterior surface. The interior surfaces face one another and the exterior surfaces are shaped to engage the molding. Each of the side walls terminate at a distal edge providing a passage for the flange. A base connects the side walls at an end that is opposite the distal edges. A tab extends from the base and is disposed between the side walls. The tab and the interior surface of the second side wall define a pocket sized to fit the flange of the vehicle. The interior surface of the second side wall comprises a bump that extends towards and faces the tab. The tab and the bump are configured to engage the flange.

A clip includes a base that is elongated in a longitudinal direction, a post connected to the base at a proximal end of the post. The post extends away from the base and terminates at a distal end of the post. The clip further includes a first finger and a second finger both connected on opposite sides of the post and extending away from the post toward the base in the longitudinal direction. The clip also includes an elongated foot connected to the base on a side of the base opposite the post. The clip also includes an umbrella seal connected to the base that has a sealing lip around a periphery of the base that extends away from the base. The base, the elongated foot and the first finger and the second finger of the clip extend along the same longitudinal direction of the clip.

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.

A removal seal for emergency access and egress for panels in transit vehicles has a pair of exit panel side wings separated by two key cavities. A locking strip is inserted within the two key cavities to urge the exit panel side wings against the exit panel to secure the exit panel. The locking strip may then be removed with relative ease such that the exit panel may be freed from the exit panel side wings and released. A method for achieving such a task is also disclosed herein.

A weatherseal assembly, and the associated method, is adapted for receipt on an associated vehicle, and includes a first attachment portion for securing the weatherseal to the associated vehicle, and a protrusion facing outwardly from the weatherseal. An elongated reveal is dimensioned for receipt over the weatherseal protrusion and faces outwardly from the vehicle when mounted thereon. The reveal has a substantially C-shape. A clip is dimensioned for interconnecting the reveal to the weatherseal protrusion, and the clip includes a retention portion that is movable between different, first and second positions such that in the first position, the retention portion has a first dimension when the reveal engages the clip, and in the second position, the retention portion has a different, second dimension when the reveal is engaged to the clip for securing the reveal to the weatherseal assembly.
