Glass run for automobile door

Abstract

A glass run for an automobile door, which allows in a state fitted in a run channel an internal lateral wall, a bottom wall, and an external lateral wall thereof to form a glass receiving groove of a cross section roughly in the shape of three sides of a rectangle and has seal parts formed respectively on the internal lateral wall and the external lateral wall and adapted to come into contact with the inner and outer surfaces of a glass. The seal part formed on the internal lateral wall is provided with a curved part projected from the internal lateral wall toward the interior of the glass receiving groove so as to urge the glass toward the exterior of the automobile. The seal part on the external lateral wall is formed of a part extended substantially linearly from the external lateral wall so as to avoid urging the glass toward the interior of the automobile. A bending notch is formed along the joint between the external lateral wall and the bottom wall in such a manner that the stepped edge on the inner base of the external lateral wall is opposed across a narrow gap to the upper surface of the bottom wall. In another embodiment, a support lip is formed so as to project from the external lateral wall or the bottom wall to the other wall along the edge of the aforementioned bending notch. Owing to the construction described above, the distance between the outer surface of the glass and the outer surface of the door frame is small and the possibility of the external lateral wall being caved in is precluded.
