A vehicle body structure is provided that prevents a glass window in a fully closed state from moving toward inside a vehicle. The vehicle body structure for use with a door includes: a vehicle body; and a run channel that is interposed for sealing between the vehicle body and a glass window that is slidably arranged in the door, wherein the run channel includes a base portion that is mounted to the vehicle body, and a hollow frame portion that elastically contacts the glass window and defines a hollow portion with the base portion, and the hollow frame portion is deformed when the glass window is fully closed so that the hollow portion is shrunk by the glass window, to cause at least a part of the hollow frame portion to closely contact the base portion.

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.

Provided is a weather strip for a vehicle according to the present disclosure. The weather strip includes: a fixing part fixed to a vehicle body or an opening/closing part of a vehicle; a sealing part formed on one side of the fixing part and formed in a hollow cross section therein to seal between the vehicle body and the opening/closing part; a sensor installation part positioned to be spaced apart from an inner surface of the sealing part in the sealing part and accommodating an anti-pinch sensor therein; and at least one sensor operation part protruding from the inner surface of the sealing part toward the sensor installation part by a predetermined length in the inner surface of the sealing part to pressurize the sensor installation part when the sealing part is deformed by an external force.

A retractable pickup truck box cover system includes a pivot joint with improved strength, durability, and manufacturability between panels of a panel assembly of the cover system. A sealing system between the panels and along ends of the panel assembly provides improved weather resistance to the cover system. A lateral support system provides resistance to binding loads when opening and closing the panel assembly. The lateral support system may also aid installation of the cover system. A ramp adjustment system allows fine tuning of the ramps that guide folding and unfolding of the panel assembly. An improved locking system and the pivot joints allow more compact storage of the panel assembly. The improved locking system includes lock rods that engage rails of the cover system. Connecting structures connect adjacent panel pairs when the cover system is deployed and do not connect the adjacent panels when the cover system is stowed. A seal of the sealing system includes angled and/or transvers ribs to support a bulb of the seal when pivotally scrubbing against the panels. The seal includes a plurality of interior portions that selectively compress and bulge between the panels. The seal includes a coating that may provide stiffness, wear resistance, hardness, and/or reduced friction. A clamping system allows installation of the cover system without drilling holes and includes built-in fixturing for locating clamps and thereby locating the cover system on the pickup truck box.
