A decorative member is attached to a side of a glass run outside a passenger compartment without degrading the workability in the attaching the glass run to a window frame, while reducing possible dents. The glass run includes a core, a base member located on the exterior wall of a trim outside the passenger compartment and made from a material with a high flexural modulus, and a decorative member fixed to a side of the base member outside the passenger compartment.

A die molded part of a glass run connects an upper part of a second extrusion molded part closer to a pillar with an end of a first extrusion molded part closer to a roof. An insert panel is embedded in the die molded part with a concave shaped part of the insert panel exposed toward an exterior of an automobile. An outer garnish couples to the die molded part from the exterior of the automobile by fitting a convex shaped part of the outer garnish into the concave shaped part of the insert panel with a second anchoring part on the convex shaped part engaging with a first anchoring part on the concave shaped part. The concave shaped part includes a through hole which penetrates the insert panel in an inner-cabin and outer-cabin direction. A lid closes an inner-cabin side of the through hole.

A truck bed cover integrated in a vehicle (e.g., a truck), configured to move through an opening formed between a cab and a truck bed, and along a set of channels on the truck bed. The vehicle includes a motor engaged with the truck bed cover and configured to enable an automated movement of the truck bed cover along the set of channels. The vehicle in one embodiment is an electric truck configured to run off a battery pack stored within the electric truck. The truck bed cover includes a plurality of movable portions, the plurality of movable portions linked together in a flexible format.

Trimming and sealing assembly for an upper portion of a window frame of a motor vehicle door, the upper portion having a support flange having a sheet metal member having an upper wing and a rear lateral wing. The assembly has a bearing profile having an upper wing extending above the upper wing of the support flange and a front lateral wing. A downwardly-open seat is formed between the support flange and the bearing profile. An external trimming profile is connected to the front lateral wing of the bearing profile. A sealing strip, mounted in the downwardly-open seat, has first and second lateral branches, respectively adjacent to the front lateral wing of the bearing profile and to the rear lateral wing of the support flange, and provided longitudinal sealing lips. An upper space of the bearing profile is adjacent to the downwardly-open seat.

A mounting structure for a doorframe molding includes an upper edge part that defines an upper side of a window frame of a vehicle door. The mounting structure further includes an engaging part that includes a shaft part and a rib part extending from a lower end of the shaft part in a vehicle front-rear direction or a vehicle width direction, a body part of the doorframe molding, and a bracket that projects from the body part and is engaged with the engaging part. The bracket has a cut-out part that is made by cutting out the bracket. The shaft part is inserted into the cut-out part, and a peripheral part of the cut-out part is engaged with the rib part.

Disclosed is a structure in which no gap that allows water admission between a weather strip and a glass run is formed in a situation where the weather strip at an upper frame portion of a window frame extends gradually downwardly apart from the glass run. The upper glass run portion is provided with a door panel sealing lip. The door panel sealing lip is provided with a form change point. The door panel sealing lip has a portion located closer to a center portion in a front-rear direction of the vehicle than the form change point is, and the portion contacts an upper surface of an upper frame portion and is bent outward away from a cabin. The door panel sealing lip has another portion located closer to an end than the form change point is, and the portion is not bent but extends downward.
