Aspects of the disclosure relate to vehicle window subassemblies for initial bonded and subsequent roped installation. In certain embodiments, a vehicle body of a vehicle includes a window mount with a flange having a bonding space for bonded installation of a window and a replacement space for roped installation of a replacement window. A bonded window subassembly includes a window, bonding agent, and bonded window trim configured to, upon attachment of the window to the window mount, preserve the replacement space from the bonding agent for roped installation of a replacement window. A roped window subassembly includes a replacement window and a roped window trim configured to, upon attachment of the window to the window mount, create a seal in the replacement space and not create a seal in the bonding space. Such configurations provide increased quality of an initial bonded installation and reduced cost of a roped installation.

An inner-cabin side part of a hollow part of a protector with a sensor extends between a top end and an inner-cabin side end with an inner-cabin side apex closest to an interior of an automobile body. An outer-cabin side part of the hollow part extends between the top end and an outer-cabin side end with an outer-cabin side apex closest to an exterior of the automobile body. Distances are shorter between the apexes and the ends than between the top end and the apexes. A first conductive part includes parts closer to an installation base member than an apex of a second conductive part. Lower ends of the first conductive part have protrusions formed. The protrusions extend to protrude toward the second conductive part from an inner surface of an outer coat of the hollow part and are formed on uneven bases.

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 tailgate support is arranged in a sealing channel between an inner panel of the lid bodyshell and a lateral covering of the rear lights.

The present invention relates to a daylight opening surround (3; 101) for a motor vehicle (1). The surround (3; 101) has a light transmitting element (15; 103) for transmitting light from a light source (19; 111). The present invention also relates to a light transmitting element (15; 103) for a surround (3; 101); a controller for a daylight opening surround (3; 101); and a motor vehicle (1).

A protector with a sensor operatively coupled on a sliding door detects an object by touch between two conductive parts in a hollow part with a space therebetween. The two conductive parts including a conductive part on a lower part of the hollow part as a side of the installation base member and a conductive part on an upper part of the hollow part as a side of a top end are shaped and positioned in a manner that an inner-cabin side end and an outer-cabin side end of the space are continuously provided directly on an inner peripheral surface of the hollow part. A coating layer covers at least an outer peripheral surface of the outer coat of the hollow part having the inner-cabin side end and the outer-cabin side end of the space continuously provided directly on the inner peripheral surface thereof.
