A Method and System for a vehicle weatherstrip

摘要

A method and system for determining the fit of weather strips 14, 16 with the closure panels 12, 13, 46 of a vehicle includes a flexible carrier 18 with a transferable disclosing agent 22 disposed on the flexible carrier 18. The flexible carriers 18 may be applied to a closure panel 12, 13, 46 of vehicle when the panel 12, 13, 46 is in an open position, with the panel then being closed so as to allow the disclosing agent 22 to either be transferred to the fixed side of the opening, or to be merely dislodged from the flexible carrier 18. In either case, the pattern of interference fit between the weather strip 14, 16 and the closure panel is then disclosed.
