Abstract

The invention concerns a glazed device ( 11 ) intended to be assembled to a door shell ( 10 ) for forming a door ( 1 ) of a motor vehicle, comprising at least one movable glazed panel ( 110 ) and guide rails ( 112 A, 112 B) for guiding said movable glazed panel ( 110 ) in a sliding manner between a sealed position and at least one open position, said movable glazed panel ( 110 ) carrying, on the face of same facing the inside of the vehicle, at least one guide shoe ( 116, 117, 118 ) mounted sliding relative to one of said guide rails ( 112 A, 112 B), said guide rails ( 112 A, 112 B) being linked at the top part of same by an upper cross-member ( 111 ), said upper cross-member ( 111 ) carrying first sealing means ( 115 d ) intended to come into contact with the bodywork of the vehicle when the door ( 1 ) is closed, and said upper cross-member ( 111 ) and said guide rails ( 112 A, 112 B) carry second sealing means ( 115 ) intended to come into contact with the movable glazed panel ( 110 ). According to the invention, the first sealing means ( 115 d ) and the second sealing means ( 115 ) are produced as a single part.
