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.

A stabilization device stabilizes the region at the tip of a mirror triangle seal which is secured to a cover of the mirror triangle of a frameless vehicle door of a motor vehicle in the vehicle transverse direction. The stabilization device includes a fastening element for securing to the cover of the mirror triangle and a contact element for contacting the inner face of the tip of the seal. The contact element can be arranged and fixed so as to protrude upwards in the vehicle vertical direction such that the seal remains fixed to the cover when the vehicle door is opened despite a force acting inwards, which force is exerted onto the tip of the seal by a vehicle door window pane which is pretensioned inwards.

In a method of manufacturing a seal assembly, strips of material are extruded to form first and second bodies, and ends of the bodies are positioned into a mold cavity of a molding apparatus. An elastomeric material is injected into the mold cavity to form a locator device having a foot portion and a tab portion with the tab portion defining a first reference point. A thermoplastic elastomeric material is injected into the mold cavity to form a corner mold covering the body ends and the foot portion of the locator device with the corner mold defining a second reference point. The corner mold bonds the first body end, the second body end, and the locator device together to fix the locator device to the first body end at a locator position such that a predetermined distance between the reference points is maintained during injecting of the thermoplastic elastomeric material.

A weather strip made of an elastic material includes an insert member having a plurality of through holes which is embedded in a corner portion of the weather strip. In the corner portion, a clip insertion hole in which a clip for attaching the corner portion to the automobile body is insertable is formed, and in the insert member, a clip hole is formed in a position corresponding to the clip insertion hole. In the outer peripheral portion of the clip hole, an additional hole communicating with the clip hole is formed, and the elastic materials of which the corner portion is made and that are situated on the obverse and reverse sides of the insert member are united together through the additional hole.

A seal component includes a division bar arranged between the movable glass and the fixed glass, a flexible first seal molded integrally with the division bar and sealing both a vertical side portion of the movable glass and a vertical side portion of the fixed glass, a flexible second seal coupled to an upper end of the first seal and sealing a portion of a periphery of the fixed glass excluding the vertical side portion, and a coupling member that couples a lower side portion of the second seal to the first seal. The first seal includes a first groove into which the vertical side portion of the fixed glass is fitted thereby sealing the vertical side portion, and the second seal includes a second groove into which the portion of the periphery of the fixed glass excluding the vertical side portion is fitted thereby sealing the fitted portion.
