Abstract: A method for evaluating noise of a glass run of an automobile door includes: detecting oscillation of the door glass by a sensor for the door glass and then storing the oscillation as an oscillatory wave form of the door glass and detecting oscillation of the frame by a sensor for the frame and then storing the oscillation as an oscillatory wave form of the frame, with the glass run coupling to the automobile door; synthesizing the oscillatory wave form of the door glass and the oscillatory wave form of the frame, picking out relative oscillation of the door glass in relation to the frame and storing the relative oscillation as a synthesized oscillatory wave form; making oscillation corresponding to the synthesized oscillatory wave form by an oscillator and oscillating the door glass with the automobile stopped; and detecting sound of the oscillation by a microphone.

Abstract: A part of a touch sensor, which couples to a curve of a flange, includes a raising member. The curve of the flange is on a belt line of a sliding door. The raising member rises outwardly toward an exterior of the automobile from an inner-cabin side wall of the touch sensor.

Abstract: Disclosed is a technique of narrowing a trim strip and improving ease of assembly. A boundary portion between upper and outer plate portions in the cross-section of a core is curved to have a large curvature. An outer portion of a glass run body is provided with an upper elastic protrusion engaging with an upper engagement portion of the trim strip. A gap is formed between an upper part of the outer portion of the glass run body and an upper portion of the trim strip. The gap allows the trim strip to move excessively toward the inside of a cabin.

Abstract: Disclosed is a glass run for an automobile door which may block noise that has passed through a door glass from easily reaching the passenger's ears, while reducing an increase in the weight and cost of the glass run. In the glass run, a space R is formed between a base end portion 41b of an inner seal lip 41 located inside a cabin and an inner surface 22b of a door glass 22 facing inside the cabin. A facing surface 41d of the inner seal lip 41 facing the inner surface 22b of the door glass 22 is provided with a sound absorbing portion 41h which absorbs noise that has entered the inside of the cabin through the door glass 22.
