A glass plate module according to the present invention is a glass plate module to be attached at a position adjacent to a door of a vehicle that can be opened and closed, and the glass plate module includes a glass plate, a window assembly that is fixed to a peripheral edge of the glass plate, and a molding portion that includes a tubular molding portion main body provided with a through hole extending along the window assembly, and is fixed to the window assembly. The molding portion main body is configured to come into contact with a portion of the closed door.

A seal between a frame part of a vehicle door window and the upper edge of a lowerable window pane of the vehicle door window. A seal profiled element of plastic is provided, which is slid onto a flange protruding upward from the frame part of the vehicle window and/or which is connected to a tube-shaped seal section for forming a seal between the frame part and a border surface of a door opening in a vehicle body.

A vehicle roof for a motor vehicle having a roof opening which is defined by a peripheral vehicle roof edge, a moveable roof element for either closing or at least partially exposing the roof opening, which is held on the vehicle roof, and a continuous profiled seal fixed to the vehicle roof along the vehicle roof edge, wherein the continuous profiled seal comprises a first tubular seal, wherein the first tubular seal is designed to seal the vehicle roof in relation to the moveable roof element, the first tubular seal has a drainage lip, which extends downwards in a vertical direction (Z) from the first tubular seal.

A weatherstrip manufacturing method is a method for manufacturing a weatherstrip which includes a trim portion where an insert is embedded. The insert includes short connecting portions that connect strips at substantially regular intervals, and a long connecting portion having a larger length than each length of the short connecting portions. The method includes an extrusion molding step for covering the insert with a polymer material, a cut-off portion forming step for cutting off a part of a long interval portion including the long connecting portion in the long interval portion where the long connecting portion is embedded to form a cut-off portion, and a cutting step for cutting the cut-off portion in a crossing direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction to divide the weatherstrip in the longitudinal direction.

A method of manufacturing a material strand (100), particularly for sealing, trimming or fastening of doors (11) or windows (12) of a motor vehicle (10), comprises the steps of: a) extrusion of an extruded strand (200); b) testing the extruded strand (200) after the extrusion, thereby identifying first segments (210) comprising manufacturing defects (211) and second segments (220) being free from manufacturing detects; c) cutting out the first segments (210) from the extruded strand (200), thereby causing faces (222) at the second segments (220); d) joining cut faces (222) of second segments (220) to obtain a joint (102) and to form a material strand (100), the joint (102) having a position within the material strand (100), wherein a minimum distance (d) is maintained between the positions of adjacent joints (102); e) identifying the position of each joint (102); and f) forming a transport unit (110) having a predetermined maximum length by winding the material strand (100).

A coupling part of a weather strip is fixed between a first anchoring part and a second anchoring part on an outer peripheral part of a sash of a door. A hollow seal member and an outer lip are integrally formed with the coupling part and make elastic contact with a second surface and a first surface of a door opening edge of a body panel, respectively, when the door is in the closed position. The weather strip is fixed to the sash only by fixing the coupling part. A pillar part couples the coupling part with the hollow seal member. A body seal lip is provided on the hollow seal member and makes elastic contact with the door opening edge when the door is in the closed position.
