ABSTRACT:
A belt weatherstrip for an automotive vehicle door having a flush mounted window assembly is disclosed. This belt weatherstrip has a body portion with attaching members for attaching the weatherstrip to the door assembly. A trim member extends from the body portion into a gap located between an outer door panel and the window assembly when the window assembly is in a closed position. The trim member provides the gap with a show surface that is substantially flush with the exterior surfaces on both the window assembly and the door panel. In addition, a curved member extends from the body portion and sealingly engages a surface on the window assembly when the window assembly is in a closed position. This curved member also engages the window assembly as it moves between open and closed positions, thereby wiping water and debris from the window assembly. A supporting member extending between the body portion and the curved member applies pressure to the curved member thereby enhancing the sealing engagement between the curved member and the window assembly. Moreover, the supporting member prevents a portion of the curved member from interfering with the window assembly as it is raised to its closed position.
