A peel resistant weather strip lining a window frame of a vehicle to create a seal between a window and the window frame. The strip may have a body having an opening and configured to receive the window. The strip may further have a first flap extending around the body and configured to engage an exterior surface of the window frame. The strip may further have a second flap extending around the body and configured to engage an interior surface of the window frame. The strip may further have a catcher extending out from the second flap. The catcher may make direct contact with the interior surface of the window frame to prevent the second flap from disengaging the interior surface of the window frame when the strip is unwantedly rotated while holding, opening, or closing a door of the vehicle.

A retractable truck bed cover having an array of parallel aluminum slats joined together by connective hinges including leading and trailing edge configuration for improving the security of the cover by covering and concealing the seam between adjacent slats while improving the connective hinge's resistance to the effects of aging and/or exposure to temperature fluctuations. The truck bed cover connective hinge slat is designed to be in an array of discrete slats, which are joined to one another by means of joiner members secured at each end to slat end caps. The distal ends of the joiner members are attached to slat end caps at the distal ends of the slats, thereby preventing the joiner members from shrinking in relationship to the slats due to aging and I or exposure to temperature fluctuations.

A sealing element for a vehicle cap is disclosed. The sealing element comprises a body portion, a flange attached to the body portion in a longitudinal orientation, and an angle. The flange is configured to move between an open and closed position. The flange is compressed as it moves from the open position to the closed position. The sealing element is comprised of a low density rubber and creates an airtight and watertight seal between the vehicle cap and the truck bed.

The present invention achieves a good closing of an opening and closing member, good sealing properties, good sound insulating properties, and good contour following properties.

A weather strip (10) includes a sealing section (12) having a main lip section (15) and a sub lip section (16). A space (S) surrounded by the main lip section (15), the sub lip section (16), a vehicle-interior-side upper wall section (12d), and an opening and closing member (back door 4) is contained within a region (R) between the sealing section (12) and the opening and closing member (back door 4) facing each other.
