The invention relates to an element (100) for fastening trim (1) to a peripheral seal (10) of a window (11) of a vehicle, comprising at least one assembly of the clip type formed by a base (6) bearing, on the face intended to receive the trim, one or more semi-rigid clips (7), said clips comprising at least two arms between which a lug element (4) of the trim is introduced, characterized in that the fastening element (100) is formed of one piece enclosed in the peripheral seal during the moulding thereof to the window.

The present disclosure relates to an encapsulation assembly for automotive glass including first glass, an encapsulation component, a plastic guiding rail, a sealing strip, and a decorative layer. Second glass is slidably connected in the plastic guiding rail. One end of the plastic guiding rail is fixedly connected to an edge of the first glass by means of integrally injection-molding the encapsulation component. The other end of the plastic guiding rail is provided with a guiding groove for guiding sliding of the second glass. The guiding groove includes an upper wall and a lower wall opposite to each other. The sealing strip is fixed between the upper wall and the lower wall. The second glass and the sealing strip slidably cooperate. A side of the plastic guiding rail facing outside of a vehicle is provided with the decorative layer by injection molding.

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 trim strip has upper and lower trim-strip-side mating portions. A glass run body has, at its exterior part, body-side mating portions and an upper contacting portion contacting an upper part of an exterior surface of the trim strip. The upper contacting portion has a portion contacting the trim strip, and the portion is provided with a coating. The coating is formed of an elastic material reducing the sliding resistance to the trim strip.

A bi-laminate polymer coated metal substrate, vehicle trim member formed therefrom, and method of manufacture thereof are provided. The bi-laminate polymer coated metal substrate includes a monolithic metal substrate having a first area with a first polymeric material bonded thereto and a second area, different from the first area, with a second polymeric material bonded thereto. A substantially tear resistant, protective substrate is releasably bonded to the first polymeric material, with the first polymeric material being sandwiched between the protective substrate and the metal substrate. The protective substrate is selectively removable from the first polymeric material to expose the first polymeric material as a finish surface.

A kit for cladding a door rail of a vehicle, comprising two similar assemblies suitable for mounting on the rail of the same door, only one of these assemblies being mounted on this rail according to a desired aesthetic aspect among a first aspect called flush and a second aspect called non flush.

A vehicle door comprising a mount, a encapsulated fixed window module, a movable window, and a sliding joint, the windows comprising outer surfaces which are aligned with each other as well as with an outer surface of a first trim attached to the first ascending strand and fixed to the first ascending post, and an outer surface of a second trim attached to the second ascending strand and fixed to the ascending profile.

A weatherstrip assembly includes a body having a carrier or core formed from a first metal for providing strength and rigidity to the body. A show surface of the weatherstrip assembly is formed of a second metal different than the first metal. The second metal acts as the show surface of the weatherstrip assembly. An isolative, electrically low conductivity layer is received only on portions of the first metal that are disposed adjacent to portions of the second metal and potentially subject to electrical contact therebetween.
