ABSTRACT:
A glass run 5 having an improved sealing ability is provided. The glass run 5 is fit into a door sash 2 of a car in order to guide a descending or ascending door glass 3. The glass run 5 comprises a molded connector 5B for connecting straight parts 5A of the glass run, and it has a U-shaped groove 4 for guiding the door glass 3. The U-shaped groove 4 comprises an outer side wall 6, a bottom wall 7, an inner side wall 8, an outer lip 9 extending from the outer side wall 6 into the groove 4, and an inner lip 10 extending from the inner side wall 8 into the groove 4. The outer and inner lips 9 and 10 hold the door glass 3 through frictional contact. An inner groove 20 is formed in the middle of the outer surface of the inner side wall 8 of the molded connector 5B which is fit into the corner of the door sash 2 in order to reduce the thickness of that groove portion, thereby enabling the inner side wall 8 to be deformed only outward from the car to enhance the airtight contact between the inner lip 10 and the door glass 3.
