A vehicle window assembly and an assembly method therefor, and a vehicle. The vehicle window assembly includes an exterior decorative member, an encapsulation assembly, and a guide rail. The encapsulation assembly is disposed around a periphery of the exterior decorative member and wraps at least part of the periphery of the exterior decorative member. The encapsulation assembly has a first end and a second end in a direction of an edge S of the exterior decorative member, and the second end is far away from the first end. A limiting groove is defined at the first end of the encapsulation assembly. The guide rail has one end inserted into the limiting groove to limit the guide rail from moving. The guide rail is connected to the second end of the encapsulation assembly to fix the guide rail to the encapsulation assembly.

A vehicle exterior structure includes a roof panel, a panel rear window glass, a glass side-edge molding disposed along a side edge of the rear window glass, and a garnish having a constant cross section extending in a direction in which the roof panel and the rear window glass are lined. The garnish is disposed to face a side surface of the roof panel and a side surface of the glass side-edge molding. The side surface of the glass side-edge molding is a wall surface which faces the garnish. The garnish is characterized by having an inner lip which faces the side surface of the roof panel and the wall surface. In this way, a vehicle exterior structure with improved appearance and suppressed noise can be provided.

An assembly structure of a door weather strip includes a roll sash with a projection, a press sash without a projection and joined to the roll sash, a decorative molding which covers the sashes, and an end cap fit on the decorative molding. An outer seal lip of the door weather strip includes: an upper side protrusion and a lower side protrusion which extend outwardly toward an exterior of an automobile and are parallel with each other in a longitudinal direction; and a channel between the protrusions, which is open outwardly toward the exterior of the automobile. The protrusions are connected by a connecting wall on a front end of the channel, slid toward a front side of a door from a rear side, and guided into a space between the press sash and the end cap with a projection on the end cap guided into the channel.

The invention relates to an illuminated trim for a motor vehicle with a lighting unit, especially a trim as the cover strip of a sealing strip for a window shaft of a vehicle door, which is designed such that, when assembled as intended on the vehicle a light gap is formed between the trim and the adjoining outer surface of the vehicle or in the trim, as well as the method for making such a trim. In order to achieve a uniform ambient lighting with high functional reliability, low manufacturing expense, and the lowest possible costs, it is provided that the lighting unit comprises a carrier layer and an at least partly translucent functional layer, wherein the light source is arranged on the carrier layer and the light source is covered by the functional layer applied to the carrier layer.
