ABSTRACT:
A weatherstrip is 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 extending along the roof rail. The resiliently deformable member includes an upper mounting portion secured to the roof rail, an inboard lip portion, an outboard lip portion, a bridge portion interconnecting the inboard and outboard lip portions and restraining means disposed within the hollow. The restraining means acts on the upper mounting portion and the bridge portion to prevent the window pane from moving in one direction substantially normal to the plane of the window opening. The restraining means may take the form of a bank formed integral with the upper mounting portion, but separate from the bridge portion. Alternatively, the restraining means may take the form of a bank formed integral with the bridge portion but separate from the upper mounting portion.
