ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates in general to weatherstrips for vehicle closures and more particularly to a weatherstrip for providing a seal between a first window glass panel and a second window glass panel. More particularly, a weatherstrip is provided and includes a resilient base portion having an extending member and two legs adapted to engage a second window glass panel and a resilient lip portion integral with and extending from the base portion toward a first window glass panel. The resilient lip portion is forked, having a sealing lip and a longer lip attached to the base of the sealing lip, wherein the longer lip has a bulbed end portion. The resilient lip portion is also self-biased with its resilience toward the second window glass panel so that it is sealingly engageable with the first window glass panel. When water pressure deflects the longer lip of the resilient lip portion, the bulb at the end thereof contacts the extending member of the base portion, creating a closed elongated area, ensuring that the sealing lip is deflected towards the longer lip, and preventing water leakage.
