ABSTRACT:
An elongate weatherseal for use in a motor vehicle body structure having an upper window frame, and a door having a windowpane movable between raised and lowered positions relative to the window frame. The weatherseal comprises an elongate hollow resiliently deformable body member having a V-shaped window retaining member with first and second arms. The first arm is secured to a first portion of the body member, and the second arm extends into the hollow part of the body member. When the windowpane is moved to its raised position, the upper end thereof engages a second portion of the body member and moves it inwardly into engagement with the closely spaced second arm. Inward movement of the second arm by the windowpane causes the first arm to move inwardly. Inward movement of the first arm flexes the first portion of the body member into engagement with the outer surface of the upper end of the windowpane for retaining the windowpane into sealing engagement with the weatherseal.
