If a sealing member is mounted to a planar sealing member-mount extending from a window frame toward outside of the cabin, separation of a terminal portion of the sealing member from the window frame is to be reduced. A fixing member made of a hard material is provided on a terminal portion of the sealing member in a front-rear direction of a vehicle. The fixing member has a body portion, an engagement portion, and a fixing target portion. The body portion is fixed to the terminal portion of the sealing member. The engagement portion holds the planar sealing member-mount in a thickness direction. The fixing target portion is fixed to a portion of the window frame remote from the planar sealing member-mount in the front-rear direction of the vehicle.

Some embodiments are directed to a weatherstrip and garnish assembly for use with a vehicle door that includes a body flange. The weatherstrip and garnish assembly can include a weatherstrip assembly that has a weatherstrip configured to be secured to the body flange of the vehicle door. The weatherstrip can include a curved portion. A sunshade garnish can be spaced from the curved portion of the weatherstrip to define a gap therebetween. A weatherstrip garnish can be disposed between the sunshade garnish and the weatherstrip so as to cover the gap. A first connector can connect the sunshade garnish to the weatherstrip garnish. A second connector can connect the weatherstrip garnish to the weatherstrip assembly.

An assembly is formed by an insert and an overmolding device including a lower mold part and an upper mold part that are movable with respect to one another between an open position, which is suitable for the arrangement and removal of a glass pane and of the insert to be overmolded, and a closed position, in which the two mold parts delimit at least one cavity for injection of the overmolding material, wherein the lower part includes a receiving housing that is designed, on account of having a complementary shape to a referencing member of the insert, to form a stop for the member in a direction of insertion of the insert, and to immobilize the member along a vertical axis.

A door assembly includes a door frame, a first window glass, and a holding member. The door frame includes a first window seal and a second window frame. The first window seal at least partially defines a first window opening. The second window frame at least partially defines a second window opening. The second window frame having a division bar that separates the first window opening and the second window opening. The first window seal having a bottom seal member and a side seal member that extends between the bottom seal member and the division bar. The bottom seal member includes a slit extending along a longitudinal direction of the bottom seal member. The first window glass is inserted into the first window opening through the slit. The holding member is coupled to the bottom seal member to inhibit movement of the first window glass with respect to the first window opening.

A gap formed in a front portion of a door is easily and reliably filled so that occurrence of noise is reduced. A frame front side portion retaining a glass run front side portion being inserted is provided in a front portion of a window frame. A front side of an outer panel is provided with a mirror base to which a mirror base cover is attached. A rear edge of the mirror base is provided with a rear plate portion extending to a cabin inner side. A gap is formed between the frame front side portion and the rear plate portion. An outer sealing plate portion overlapping with a cabin outer side of the mirror base is provided with a gap filling portion extending downward.

A sealing arrangement for guiding and sealing a vertically movable vehicle window pane, having a plurality of strand components, which can be interlockingly and/or frictionally connected to each other and to the vehicle body, wherein the strand components include a strand component made of plastic, which extends along an upper edge of the vehicle window pane when the vehicle window is closed. The strand component made of plastic has a stopping element for locking the plastic strand component in the longitudinal direction of the strand during assembly of the sealing arrangement on the vehicle body. The stopping element preferably includes at least one journal element, protruding from a longitudinal side of the plastic strand component, for engaging in an opening in the vehicle body.

A fixed window glass with a division bar, includes a fixed window glass adapted to be fixed to a vehicle and having an edge portion; and a division bar attached to the edge portion, the division bar comprising a guide portion formed in a U-shaped in section configured to guide elevating and lowering movement of an elevating window glass; wherein the division bar further comprises a first member fixed to the edge portion of the fixed window glass, and a second member to be attachable to the first member from an exterior side of the vehicle; and wherein the second member is attached to the first member, and the division bar has an exterior side surface exposed on the exterior side of the vehicle such that the exposed exterior side surface forms a flush surface.

A seal system for retaining a seal in between a fixed quarter glass and a moveable window glass can include a first seal carrier attached to the fixed quarter glass, a second seal carrier attached to the first seal carrier, a seal retained by the first and second seal carriers, and a beauty cover disposed over the first and second seal carriers when viewed from inside a vehicle. The seal system can be assembled by attaching the first seal carrier to the quarter glass, joining the second seal carrier to the first seal carrier, placing the seal such that it is retained by the first and second seal carriers, and fitting the first and second seal carriers with the beauty cover. When assembled, the seal system retains the seal to seal the vehicle between the fixed quarter glass and the movable window glass.

A division bar for an automobile is provided between a movable door glass and a fixed quarter glass. The division bar includes an inner-cabin side member and an outer-cabin side member. The inner-cabin side member is formed by integrally molding a receiving part, an inner-cabin side lip, and a seal part. A core is embedded in the receiving part. The core is bendable in an inner-cabin and outer-cabin direction. The outer-cabin side member is formed by integrally molding an anchoring protrusion, an outer-cabin side lip, and a seal lip. The outer-cabin side member couples to the inner-cabin side member by fitting the anchoring protrusion into the receiving part with the outer-cabin side lip making elastic contact with an outer-cabin side surface of the door glass and with the seal lip making elastic contact with the seal part.
