ABSTRACT:
A seal assembly for a movable window pane which is raisable or lowerable in a vehicle window opening includes a one-piece, closed-loop construction which is formed from two molded sealing elements secured together to form a sealing member adapted to be secured along the periphery of a window opening and to provide continuous sealing engagement with the interior and exterior periphery of the movable window pane. The one-piece seal assembly replaces a plurality of individual sealing components which are conventionally used to provide the weather seal between a vehicle window opening and a movable window pane which slides up or down to open or close the window opening.
A method for forming a one-piece, closed-loop seal assembly includes the steps of molding an inner sealing element having a continuous, closed-loop structure, molding an outer sealing element having a continuous, closed-loop structure, and then securing the sealing elements together to form a one-piece, closed-loop sealing member adapted to seal between a vehicle window opening and a window pane which can be raised or lowered within the opening.
