ABSTRACT:
An improved seal for a sliding window pane in a vehicular backlite. The improved seal has a mounting base secured within a receiving recess presented from a fixed member in a window frame. A hinge is supported from the mounting block, and the mounting base, in turn, supports a pair of sealing lips that are preferably formed integrally with the mounting base. The sealing lips are adapted to engage the exterior surface of a sliding window pane. Opening the sliding window pane permits the hinge to pivot the sealing lips to an open position wherein the first lip is disposed out of engagement with the exterior surface of the window pane, and the second sealing lip is moved into the displacement axis of the sliding window pane. Upon closure, the sliding window pane engages the second sealing lip to pivot the hinge and drive the first sealing lip into engagement with the exterior surface of the sliding window pane. The configuration, and disposition, of the first sealing lip prevents entrance of even pressurized water therepast by increasing the sealing pressure of at least the first lip against the exterior surface of the sliding window pane.
