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 door weather strip includes an attachment base that is attached to a door frame or a door molding, and a seal lip that abuts on a vehicle body opening peripheral edge when a door is closed, in which the vehicle body opening peripheral edge side at a tip of the seal lip is formed with a protrusion that abuts on the vehicle body opening peripheral edge when the door is closed, and the seal lip is formed with a hard portion harder than a material constituting the seal lip to extend from a lower region of the protrusion to a root side of the seal lip.

A seal assembly is mounted to a floor portion of an RV with a slide out room. The slide out room has a wall and a floor that is separated from the floor of the RV. The seal assembly has a floor portion, a separate wear bar and a separate bulb seal. The floor portion has a mounting portion that receives the wear bar and an exterior leg that connects the bulb seal using a tongue and groove. Fasteners connect the wear bar and floor portion to the floor of the RV. The floor portion includes a wiper that extends upwardly from an inner lateral edge. A catch wall extends adjacent the wiper and cooperates with it to form a trough for drainage. The catch wall can receive a corner piece to direct drained water to the outside of the RV.

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 retractable pickup truck box cover system includes a pivot joint with improved strength, durability, and manufacturability between panels of a panel assembly of the cover system. A sealing system between the panels and along ends of the panel assembly provides improved weather resistance to the cover system. A lateral support system provides resistance to binding loads when opening and closing the panel assembly. The lateral support system may also aid installation of the cover system. A ramp adjustment system allows fine tuning of the ramps that guide folding and unfolding of the panel assembly. An improved locking system and the pivot joints allow more compact storage of the panel assembly. The improved locking system includes lock rods that engage rails of the cover system. Connecting structures connect adjacent panel pairs when the cover system is deployed and do not connect the adjacent panels when the cover system is stowed. A seal of the sealing system includes angled and/or transvers ribs to support a bulb of the seal when pivotally scrubbing against the panels. The seal includes a plurality of interior portions that selectively compress and bulge between the panels. The seal includes a coating that may provide stiffness, wear resistance, hardness, and/or reduced friction. A clamping system allows installation of the cover system without drilling holes and includes built-in fixturing for locating clamps and thereby locating the cover system on the pickup truck box.
