The invention relates to a roof arrangement (8) for a vehicle roof (2) having a roof opening (3), comprising a movable roof element (4) for selectively closing or at least partially opening the roof opening (3), a frame (5) which holds the roof element (4), and a strand-shaped seal profile (9) which extends in a horizontal main direction of extent, it being possible for the strand-shaped seal profile (9) to be fastened to the vehicle roof (2), and the said strand-shaped seal profile (9) having a first seal hose (10), the first seal hose (10) being configured for sealing with respect to the movable roof element (4), the frame (5) having an uppermost web (17), the first seal hose (10) being arranged above the uppermost web (17) in a state of the roof arrangement (8) in which it is mounted for proper operation on the vehicle roof (2), and the first seal hose (10) having a drain lip (22) which extends along a vertical direction from the seal hose (10) as far as below the uppermost web (17) of the frame.

The invention also relates to a vehicle roof (2) of a vehicle (1).

Corner portions of an upper edge of the rear-side roof 24 close to the side windows protrude toward a front of the vehicle beyond a rear frame portion of the associated side window. Pillars are positioned on the respective corner portions inside the vehicle. Weatherstrips 34 each include a lip portion 34b covering an upper end portion of the associated pillar from outside of the vehicle while the roof is closed. Sealing members 40 are respectively provided on the inside of the corner portions. An extended sealing portion 40b extends from each sealing member 40. The extended sealing portion 40b blocks a gap, formed between the associated corner portion and the associated pillar and intended for the lip portion 34b, while the front-side roof is open. The lip portion 34b of the weatherstrip 34 is sandwiched between the extended sealing portion 40b and the pillar while the roof is closed.

In a vehicle door seal structure in which an outer side weather strip whose tip end portion extends upward from a molding side base end portion toward a door window glass is formed integrally with a molding portion provided on a vehicle outer side of a belt line portion, at least an outer side weather strip positioned at the uppermost portion is configured such that a first hollow portion is formed from the base end portion to the tip end portion and a second hollow portion is formed below the first hollow portion at the base end portion.

A vehicle body structure is provided that prevents a glass window in a fully closed state from moving toward inside a vehicle. The vehicle body structure for use with a door includes: a vehicle body; and a run channel that is interposed for sealing between the vehicle body and a glass window that is slidably arranged in the door, wherein the run channel includes a base portion that is mounted to the vehicle body, and a hollow frame portion that elastically contacts the glass window and defines a hollow portion with the base portion, and the hollow frame portion is deformed when the glass window is fully closed so that the hollow portion is shrunk by the glass window, to cause at least a part of the hollow frame portion to closely contact the base portion.

A weatherstrip assembly for a vehicle. The assembly includes a body having a base and first and second legs which define a channel. The body includes an interior base surface, a first interior leg surface, and a second interior leg surface disposed within the channel. The assembly includes at least one sealing lip having an abutment surface and a wearstrip disposed along at least one of the interior base surface, the first and second interior leg surfaces, and the abutment surface and formed of a thermoplastic polyethylene material. The wearstrip has a plurality of alternating wear sections and gaps that define a series of alternating semi-rigid and flexible sections, respectively, with each wear section having first and second surfaces. The first surface of one of the wear sections and the second surface of an adjacent wear section face each other to define the gap.

An opening trim weather strip includes an attaching base portion and a hollow seal portion. The hollow seal portion is formed to be divided into a first hollow portion and a second hollow portion. The first hollow portion includes a first outer peripheral sidewall extending from an opening end of a vehicle outside sidewall of the attaching base portion, the hollow seal portion connection wall, a first inner peripheral sidewall, and the vehicle outside sidewall. The second hollow portion includes a second outer peripheral sidewall and a second inner peripheral sidewall. A connector between the first outer peripheral sidewall and the second outer peripheral sidewall forms a hollow seal portion bent portion, and an outer surface of the hollow seal portion bent portion is formed to be positioned in the inner peripheral direction of the vehicle body opening peripheral edge than the tip portion of the second hollow portion.
