A process for forming a glass run channel composite having a thin film of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene as a sealing contact surface and an elastomeric rubber as a substrate by film transfer rubber molding and the product formed thereby

Process for film transfer rubber molding of glass run channel composites

A stabilizer bar bushing adapted to receive a metal stabilizer bar and to be secured within a mounting assembly that is attached to a vehicle frame for cooperatively resisting excessive sway when a vehicle is turning and a method of manufacture. The stabilizer bar bushing includes an elastomeric member and a low coefficient of friction film layer. The elastomeric member has an outer diameter, an inner diameter defining a bore and a slot extending the longitudinal length of the elastomeric member from the outer diameter to the inner diameter. The low coefficient of friction film layer is adhered to the inner diameter and the slot to facilitate ease of insertion of the stabilizer bar within the bore and reduce frictional engagement of the elastomeric member with the stabilizer bar.
