A belt assembly for an associated vehicle has a body that includes a substantially planar region dimensioned for abutting engagement with the vehicle. At least one seal lip extends outwardly from a first face of the body to engage an associated surface of a vehicle window. A first hook is provided on the body for receipt over a terminal tip of the vehicle structural assembly, and a second hook is dimensioned for at least partial receipt through an associated opening around the door window opening. The first hook is positioned over the terminal tip and then the second hook is rotated until the second hook elastically deforms outwardly and subsequently snap fits into an associated opening and the substantially planar region abuts along the associated structural assembly of the door to preclude movement of the belt assembly upwardly, cross-car, and fore-and-aft relative to the associated vehicle.

A door weather strip couples to a door adjacently to a belt line. The door weather strip includes: a fin at a bottom of the door weather strip; a main seal and a sub seal which extend vertically in upper and lower directions on an internal circumference and an outer circumference on a surface of the fin and which make elastic contact with an end of a roof weather strip when the door is in a closed position; a channel between the main seal and the sub seal; and a sealing wall which extends between a top end of the main seal and a part of the sub seal below a top end by a distance such that the sealing wall on the sub seal is spaced from the end of the roof weather strip when the door is in the closed position.

A door molding for a door of a vehicle includes a main body securable to a door panel, and a bulb portion extending from the main body. The bulb portion includes a first bulb portion extending from the main body to a bulb peak. The first bulb portion is configured to contact a door glass of the door. A second bulb portion extends from the bulb peak to the main body. The second bulb portion includes a first contact area configured to contact a first location of the door panel, a second contact area configured to contact a second location of the door panel, and a hinge portion connecting the first contact area to the second contact area.

An assembly for use in a vehicle door that can include a weather strip, a door flange, a weatherstrip datum formation, and a flange datum formation. The weatherstrip can include a mounting member that extends along a length axis of the weatherstrip. The mounting member can include a side wall that extends along the length axis. The side wall can include the weatherstrip datum formation. The door flange can be configured to integrate with an inner door panel. The door flange can include a flange datum formation. The weatherstrip datum formation can be engageable with the flange datum formation so as to position the weatherstrip relative to the door flange.

An outer weatherstrip formed of a thermoplastic elastomer fitted to an upper edge portion of a door panel of an automobile door, for sealing a space between the door panel and a door glass includes a main body consisting of a vehicle interior-side side wall, a top wall, and a vehicle exterior-side side wall, and an upper seal lip and a lower seal lip protruding from the vehicle interior-side side wall to the door glass side. A plasticizer-rich layer and a plasticizer-rich layer containing a higher proportion of a plasticizer component compared to the thermoplastic elastomer forming the upper seal lip and the lower seal lip are formed on the sides of the upper seal lip and the lower seal lip abutting on the door glass.
