Scheibenführung für verschiebbare Fahrzeugscheiben

摘要

A glass run guide for retaining and smoothly guiding a slidable vehicle window includes a molded polymeric strip (20) having a substantially U-shaped transverse cross section including a base (24), an inboard leg (26), having a projecting lip portion (30) which engages an interior surface of a slidable vehicle window (12), and an outboard leg (28) having a projecting lip portion (32), which engages an exterior surface of the slidable vehicle window (12). The glass run guide is formed of a fiber reinforced polymer having sufficient -strength and rigidity to counter forces exerted by the sliding vehicle window (12) and is mounted below the vehicle beltline to prevent undesirable movements of the window. The surfaces of the lip portions (30, 32) which contact the surfaces of the slidable vehicle window are low friction, non-abrasive surfaces which facilitate smooth movement of the window as it is raised or lowered.
