A glass run includes: an extrusion molding part disposed along an upper side part of a vehicle door; a molded part connected and molded to the extrusion molding part, the molded part being disposed in a predetermined corner part and the vicinity of the corner part; a protruding piece part provided in a predetermined longitudinal section extending across a connecting part between the extrusion molding part and the molded part, the protruding piece part protruding from an upper surface of a base part and being provided integrally with the molded part; and a concave part provided from an upper surface of the protruding piece part to the upper surface of the base part, a bottom part of the concave part being a predetermined area of the upper surface of the base part including a part of the connecting part.

Glass run and method of manufacturing the same

A glass run includes: a main body portion including a base portion, an inner side wall portion and an outer side wall portion; an inner side seal lip; and an outer side seal lip, wherein; the inner side seal lip includes a protruding portion on a rear surface so as to have a protruding surface; and in a case where the door glass inserted into the main body portion is displaced from a reference position to the inside of the vehicle, a state is changeable between a first support state where a tip end portion of a sub-lip and the protruding surface abut against each other and slide, and a second support state where the tip end portion is separated from the protruding surface and a part on a root side than the tip end portion abuts against the protruding portion.

Glass run

A linear sensorincludes an attachment baseattached to a metallic edge of a slide doorcapable of opening and closing a platform, a skin cover partwhich bulges from the attachment baseand has a hollow partin the inside, an insulatorwhich has flexibility and also is embedded in the hollow part, and a plate-shaped electrodeopposed to the attachment base, at least a portion of the electrode being embedded in the insulator. In the hollow part, a gapis disposed between the electrodeand the attachment baseand also, the electrodeis set in a plus pole and the attachment baseis set in a minus pole as the grounding, and proximity and/or contact between a foreign body and the skin cover partis detected based on a change in capacitance between the electrodeand the grounding minus pole.

Linear sensor

A glass run includes a main body portion including a base bottom portion, a vehicle exterior side wall portion and a vehicle interior side wall portion attached along an inner periphery of a door frame and seal lips extended to an inner side of the main body portion and an entire region in a longitudinal direction thereof is formed by extrusion. The base bottom portion and the vehicle exterior side wall portion and the base bottom portion and the vehicle interior side wall portion are respectively connected by deformed connecting portions. The deformed connecting portion is thin-walled more than the base bottom portion and the two side wall portions and constitutes substantially a J-like shape in a section thereof to provide a predetermined length in a width direction. At two corner portions of the glass run, the deformed connecting portions are deformed by being folded to bend at fold points, the base bottom portion is smoothly disposed on an inner peripheral side, and is continuously bent without providing a slit or a notch.
