Abstract
A sealing arrangement for sealing between a window frame carried by the upper part of a vehicle door and the frame of the door opening, comprises a sealing strip. An outer frame member of the window frame extends in a peripherally outward direction of the window opening and is curved-over in re-entrant form to define a rigid channel facing inwardly. The sealing strip has a locking portion comprising a flexible wall of a hollow chamber. The flexible wall can be partially depressed into the hollow chamber to enable the locking portion to pass into the rigid channel, whereafter the wall resiles to lock the sealing strip in position. The flexible material of the sealing strip has an integral sealing lip sealing against the window frame. The window frame supports a second rigid channel which in turn supports a flexible channel for receiving the window glass.
