ABSTRACT:
A sealing arrangement for a window pane in a vehicle body which can be raised and lowered is shown. The body panel on the outside of the door carries a seal. This seal has an integral hinge region and the inherent resilience of the material biases the seal into a position in which a lip seals against the window pane. When a motor is energised, push rods push upwardly on the end of a leg and hinge the lip away from the window pane, thus permitting it to be easily raised or lowered. This leg is reinforced with a metal strip to enable the force produced by the push rod to be transmitted to the lip. In another embodiment, the lip is hinged away from the window pane by inflation of an air-tube, thus permitting it to be easily raised or lowered. When this air-tube is fully collapsed, the lip moves closer into contact with the window pane, enabling the window pane to be wiped or cleaned as it is moved downwardly.
