A weatherseal assembly, and the associated method, is adapted for receipt on an associated vehicle, and includes a first attachment portion for securing the weatherseal to the associated vehicle, and a protrusion facing outwardly from the weatherseal. An elongated reveal is dimensioned for receipt over the weatherseal protrusion and faces outwardly from the vehicle when mounted thereon. The reveal has a substantially C-shape. A clip is dimensioned for interconnecting the reveal to the weatherseal protrusion, and the clip includes a retention portion that is movable between different, first and second positions such that in the first position, the retention portion has a first dimension when the reveal engages the clip, and in the second position, the retention portion has a different, second dimension when the reveal is engaged to the clip for securing the reveal to the weatherseal assembly.

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 method for producing an extrusion molded product for automobiles, comprising the following steps: A synthetic resin injected into a first extrusion molding machine (21) is extruded through a first mold die (20) as a core material (3); the core material (3) passes through a first cooling tank (25), and then is bent by bending rollers (22) into a desired curved shape with a radius of curvature R1; the core material (3) is extended linearly, and goes into a second mold die (23); a thermoplastic elastomer injected in a second extrusion molding machine (24) forms seal portions (2) and seal lip portions (6) on a periphery of the core material (3); thereby forming a curved portion with a radius of curvature R2 on the extrusion molded product (1).

A vehicle door sash structure includes a holding unit. The holding unit includes a guide locking portion arranged in a region of a run channel opposed in a vehicle inner-outer direction to a tip end rim of an inner beam portion in a state of temporary attachment after completion of attachment of a molding to an outer beam portion. The guide locking portion is inclined in a direction to guide the run channel to a position of completion of attachment while coming into contact with the tip end rim of the inner beam portion by an input of an attachment force in a direction to attach the molding to the run channel in the state of temporary attachment.

A seal assembly including a seal element which has at least one seal portion for sealing a vertically movable window pane of a vehicle door against a vertical window frame limb. The seal element additionally has a seal portion for forming a gap which is formed between a center that borders the vehicle door and a vertical window pane edge side facing the center.

Disclosed is a structure in which no gap that allows water entry 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. An upper glass run portion is provided with a door panel sealing lip. The door panel sealing lip is provided with a gradually varying portion such that a downward protruding length of the door panel sealing lip increases. The gradually varying portion is disposed so as to contact an outer sealing lip of the weather strip.

Disclosed is a technique of narrowing a trim strip and improving ease of assembly. A boundary portion between upper and outer plate portions in the cross-section of a core is curved to have a large curvature. An outer portion of a glass run body is provided with an upper elastic protrusion engaging with an upper engagement portion of the trim strip. A gap is formed between an upper part of the outer portion of the glass run body and an upper portion of the trim strip. The gap allows the trim strip to move excessively toward the inside of a cabin.
