ABSTRACT:
A window enclosure strip is provided for a window mounted in a vehicle door. The strip includes a mount channel which cooperates with a mount member on the door. The strip also includes a glass run portion having an exterior glass contacting member and an interior glass contacting member which form a seal with the window pane when the window pane is in a closed position in the vehicle. Further, the seal strip includes a self-trim for the door interior and exterior. The mount channel is formed of a relatively stiff material so as to eliminate the need for an additional stiffening member. On the other hand, the interior and exterior glass sealing members are relatively soft for the purposes of sealing against water, air, and noise. A continuous cut-line seal is provided to bridge the gap between the door and the body and reduce wind noise and water intrusion.
