Mit Aussenwand versehenes,geformtes Rahmenmodul

摘要

Providing a module and a method of installing the module to a vehicle having a window opening for a translational glass pane supported and guided by a glass run channel. The module is comprised of a one-piece surround molding (24) fully surrounding and generally defining the perimeter of the window opening. A glass run channel (26) is secured to the surround molding. Fasteners (30) are attached to the surround molding (24) and attach the module to a flange on the vehicle. A belt line outer seal (28) and one or more gimp seals may also be attached to more fully integrate the module. The module is fully assembled prior to being attached to a vehicle during final assembly, the surround molding supporting the glass run channel rather than having the glass run channel attached to a flange of the vehicle. Further, a method of installing the module in a reduced number of operations along the final assembly line is disclosed which provides improved control over the fit and finish of the multiple part within the module, and reduces labor time associated with the final assembly line.
