ABSTRACT:
A weatherstrip constructed in accordance with the present invention is to be used in a motor vehicle body structure including a roof rail defining an upper side of a window opening and a vehicle door having a window pane movable between raised and lowered position relative to the window opening. The weatherstrip comprises an elongated hollow resiliently deformable member secured to the roof rail. The resiliently deformable member has a web portion and a bridge portion. The bridge portion is so constructed and arranged in a hollow of the resiliently deformable member that upon flexture of the web portion by the window pane in raised position, the bridge portion is compressed between the roof rail and the window pane to bias the web portion against the window pane, and upon movement of the window pane in raised position in a direction substantially normal to the plane of the window opening, the bridge portion is flexed to keep the web portion in contact with the window pane.
