Abstract
A window frame carried on the door of a vehicle is in the form of an aluminum extrusion having a smooth bend in the region where the top of the frame meets the corner between the “B” pillar of the vehicle and the vehicle roof. The window glass has a sharp angle matching this corner. The aluminum extrusion carries flanges directed towards but stopping short of the sharp corner. The sealing and guiding strip assembly comprises a molded part incorporating a separate metal corner piece and defining a window glass receiving channel. The metal corner piece has clips which fit in a channel on the aluminum extrusion. The molded part is concealed beneath extruded strip parts meeting at a miter join at the sharp corner. These strip parts extend away from the corner piece and form integral parts of extruded window glass receiving channels matching the channel in the molded part.
