A door frame for a vehicle includes an inboard panel that includes an outer peripheral wall, an inner peripheral wall spaced apart from the outer peripheral wall, and an inboard side wall connecting the outer peripheral wall and the inner peripheral wall. The outer peripheral wall extends obliquely from the inboard side wall at a predetermined angle. The doorframe also includes an outboard panel coupled to the inboard panel. The outer peripheral wall has a mounting hole for mounting a door weatherstrip.

An illuminated trim fitting for a motor vehicle, in particular a trim fitting as a cover fitting of a sealing strip for the window channel of a vehicle door, is intended to provide a high-quality illuminating effect accompanied at the same time by a simple structural design, low manufacturing costs and space-saving means of attachment. In addition, the trim fitting is to differ as little as possible externally from non-illuminated trim fittings. For this purpose there is provision that a light gap is formed between a profiled strip of the trim fitting and the adjacent vehicle outer skin, through which light gap the light emitted by an optical waveguide provided on the rear of the trim fitting can exit to the outside.

According to an attaching structure of a roof side weather strip, a retainer includes a vehicle upper side wall, a connecting part, and an inboard side wall. A first tip locking part, formed in a tip of the vehicle upper side wall, is engaged in a tip locking groove, formed in a tip of a vehicle upper side wall of the weather strip. The vehicle upper side wall of the weather strip is held by the vehicle upper side wall of the retainer The inboard side wall of the retainer is allowed to abut on an inboard side wall of the weather strip, and a tip of a second tip locking part formed by bending the tip obliquely in the inboard direction is engaged in the engaging groove, so that the inboard side wall of the weather strip is held by the inboard side wall of the retainer.

A plug is disclosed that reduces a potential for damage to a cap or bright strip of a weatherstrip assembly. The plug is preferably an elongated member having a cross-sectional first dimension that extends between and contacts an indented, transition region of the weatherstrip body and an inner surface of the cap.

An open roof construction for a vehicle having a roof opening in a fixed roof has a roof edge defining the roof opening and protruding in a downward direction. The open roof construction comprises a stationary part and at least one panel for at least closing the roof opening. The stationary part is provided with sealing assembly comprising a first seal part forming a seal towards the panel, and a second seal part capable of sealing the stationary part against the roof edge. The sealing assembly is provided with an attachment structure protruding from the first seal part and the second seal part and attaching the sealing assembly to the stationary part. A reinforcement member is integrated in the sealing assembly and extends at least between the first and second seal parts. The reinforcement member forms an integral part of the attachment structure of the sealing assembly.
