Abstract

A glass run includes at least one of: an exterior sub-lip formed so as to project obliquely from an interior side of the exterior side wall that is closer to the bottom wall than a base portion of the exterior seal lip; an interior sub-lip formed so as to project obliquely in a direction toward a base portion of the interior seal lip from an exterior side of the interior side wall that is closer to the bottom wall than the base portion of the interior seal lip, the interior sub-lip formed with a thick portion on a base portion on a side of the interior seal lip; a thick portion formed on a base portion of the exterior seal lip; or a thick portion formed on a side of the interior seal lip that is not in contact with the door glass.

Claims (16)

1. A glass run including: a basic frame having a bottom wall, an exterior side wall, and an interior side wall; an exterior seal lip formed at or in the vicinity of a tip end of the exterior side wall; and an interior seal lip formed at or in the vicinity of a tip end of the interior side wall, the glass run configured to be attached to a groove portion formed in a door frame, the glass run comprising:

an interior sub-lip formed so as to project obliquely in a direction toward a tip portion of the interior seal lip from an exterior side of the interior side wall that is closer to the bottom wall than a base portion of the interior seal lip, the interior sub-lip formed with a first thick portion only on a base portion on a side of the interior sub-lip that is closest to the interior seal lip, the base portion of the interior sub-lip being a portion of the interior sub-lip that is proximal to the interior side wall;

a first extruded portion, a second extruded portion, and a third extruded portion, each of which supports the door glass from different directions;

a first molded portion which connects the first extruded portion to the second extruded portion; and

a second molded portion which connects the first extruded portion to the third extruded portion,

wherein the interior sub-lip and the first thick portion are formed at a connection portion connecting the second molded portion and the third extruded portion.

2. The glass run according to claim 1 , wherein

a fourth thick portion is formed on a portion of the exterior side wall from a base portion of an exterior sub-lip formed so as to project obliquely from an interior side of the exterior side wall that is closer to the bottom wall than a base portion of the exterior seal lip to the base portion of the exterior seal lip.

3. The glass run according to claim 2 , wherein

the exterior sub-lip is projected toward the bottom wall.

4. The glass run according to claim 1 , wherein

at least one of an exterior sub-lip formed so as to project obliquely from an interior side of the exterior side wall that is closer to the bottom wall than a base portion of the exterior seal lip, the first thick portion formed on the interior sub-lip, a second thick portion formed only on the base portion of the exterior seal lip, a third thick portion formed on the side of the interior seal lip that is not in contact with the door glass, or a fourth thick portion formed on the portion of the exterior side wall from the base portion of the exterior sub-lip to the base portion of the exterior seal lip is, upon molding in which a plurality of extruded members are connected, formed in a molded portion, or continuously formed on a molded portion and one of the extruded members connected to the molded portion.

5. The glass run according to claim 1 , wherein

in an exterior sub-lip formed so as to project obliquely from an interior side of the exterior side wall that is closer to the bottom wall than a base portion of the exterior seal lip, the first thick portion formed on the interior sub-lip, a second thick portion formed only on the base portion of the exterior seal lip, a third thick portion formed on the side of the interior seal lip that is not in contact with the door glass, or a fourth thick portion formed on the portion of the exterior side wall from the base portion of the exterior sub-lip to the base portion of the exterior seal lip,

the exterior sub-lip has a shorter projecting length toward a vehicle lower side, and

the first thick portion formed on the interior sub-lip, the second thick portion formed only on the base portion of the exterior seal lip, the third thick portion formed on the side of the interior seal lip that is not in contact with the door glass, or the fourth thick portion formed on the portion of the exterior side wall from the base portion of the exterior sub-lip to the base portion of the exterior seal lip has a thickness decreased toward the vehicle lower side so as to be the same as a thickness of an extruded member.
