A weather seal system is provided for sealing a perimeter of a vehicle sunroof. The system includes a mounting base having an outboard first channel, and an inboard second channel spaced apart from, and extending generally parallel to, the outboard first channel. At least two connecting portions are positioned between and connecting the first and second channels. A spine is supported by the at least two connecting portions so as to reside above the first and second channels when the mounting base is mounted on a vehicle. The spine extends generally parallel to the outboard first channel. At least a first and a second opposed weather strip retention projections extend from respective opposite first and second sides of the spine. A weather strip is structured to engage the opposed first and second weather strip retention projections so as to secure the weather strip to the spine.

A weather strip is configured to provide a seal between a door and a vehicle component. The weather strip includes a U-shaped retainer portion defining a retainer cavity. The retainer portion having a first inner lip and a second inner lip that extend into the retainer cavity. The first inner lip having a thickness that is less than a thickness of the second inner lip. The second inner lip having a body portion extending outwardly from the retainer portion, a planar end portion extending from the body portion, and a groove formed in a lower surface of the body portion.

A weatherstrip is adapted for use on an associated vehicle, and finds particular use as an outer belt. The two-part structure includes a molded exterior shell having integral attachment features, and integral wrapped end features that are unitarily or integrally molded with the shell. An extruded weatherstrip insert is placed within the shell and provides the desired sealing to the glass and attachment to a door flange. The molded shell reduces the need for extensive trim operations to otherwise create complex geometries, stretch bending and incorporates end attachment features while the aesthetic outer show surface may be chrome plated which leads to reduced scrap associated with the commonly-used stainless steel.

A sealing structure for a vehicle door seals a gap between a door and body of the vehicle and includes a sealed portion as a gap between the body and a door inner pane. A body weather strip is mounted at a first side of a lateral most portion of the sealed portion along a rim of an opening portion of the body and seals the gap between the body and door. An upper weather strip is mounted at a second side of the lateral most portion of the sealed portion along a roof panel and seals gaps between the roof panel, body, and door. A door weather strip is mounted in the sealed portion between the body and upper weather strips to be spaced apart from the body and upper weather strips, extends along the rim of the opening portion, and seals the gap between the body and door.

A hollow seal member of a weather strip for an automobile includes a first wall and a second wall. The first wall extends toward a top end of a flange, turns toward a base root of the flange on a first bent point, and protrudes and curves outwardly toward an exterior of the automobile. The second wall extends toward a base root of the flange, turns toward the top end of the flange on a second bent point, and protrudes and curves outwardly toward the exterior of the automobile. Almost a whole inside surface between the first bent point and the second bent point includes a foamed material. Almost a whole outside surface between the first bent point and the second bent point is a film which includes a non-foamed material. An interval on the hollow seal member includes the same non-foamed material as the film.

Sealing strip (9) intended to be mounted on an upper edge (3A) of an exterior panel (3) of the door provided with a window (5), comprising: a body (11) forming a slot (13) with two opposing faces (15, 17) able to fit over the upper edge (3A); a lip (19) extending along the body (11), intended to contact the window (5); and wherein at least one of the two opposing faces (15, 17) of the slot (13) comprises edge corners (25) running transversely to the strip (9) and each having an end face (25A) external to the slot (13), having a profile that makes a mean angle (, ) comprised between 10 and 30 with a main direction of said slot (13) so as to encourage insertion of the edge (3A) in the slot (13).
