ABSTRACT:
A window receiving assembly is carried by a frame of a vehicle door. A metallic channel has a mounting surface for mounting to the frame and a pair of side walls projecting from the mounting surface and defines a window receiving channel with an opening. The inboard side wall of the metallic channel has an edge rolled into the window receiving channel defining a lip and the outboard side wall consists of an upper portion in proximity to the mounting surface and a lower portion where the lower portion is rolled into the window receiving channel. A molding is extruded to the lower portion of the channel forming a sealing surface for engaging an exterior surface of the window. The sealing surface of the molding and the upper portion of the outboard side of the channel define a void where the window receiving channel widens compared to the opening. A filler is co-extruded with the molding onto the channel filling the space and is adapted to allow the channel to be bent to have a corner that fits the window without distortion and filler removed after bending to redefine the space. A weather-strip has a retaining portion received in the void and a tongue received by the lip for securing the weather-strip to the channel after the channel is bent to the shape of the window and mounted to the frame of the vehicle whereby the weather-strip is adapted to provide a seal with the window.
