Abstract
Some new truck and van weather seals have a cross-sectional shape like an inverted U, with inwardly upturned, flexible feet. These feet seal against the opposite sides of the window glass when the window is closed. Special retainer means are disclosed for holding rain shields in the upper horizontal casings of motor vehicle windows that are fitted with this type of resilient seal. The retainer means comprises a combination of (a) a substantially U-shaped plastic channel member that fits inside the seal, and which is held by the seal's upturned feet, and (b) a substantially U-shaped steel clip that is held inside the channel member, and which clamps and holds the top edge of the rain shield in the casing.
