Abstract: A seal assembly includes a body portion defining a mounting channel for receiving a vehicle flange. A base of the body portion defines an outer surface of the body portion with the outer surface defining a first axis of curvature adapted to correspond with a contour of the flange. The seal assembly further includes a sealing lip portion co-extruded with the body portion and defining a notch having a notch configuration, an element disposed in the notch and pre-formed to have an element configuration corresponding to at least a part of the notch configuration, and a molding material molded to a back surface of the element, secured to the sealing lip portion within the notch, and extending across the notch, with the element and the molding material defining a contour lip portion that in combination with the sealing lip portion defines an external sealing lip of the seal assembly.

Abstract: A below belt seal assembly for use in a window seal assembly for a vehicle includes an extruded strip of material extending in length between strip ends and having a base and first and second sides extending the base with each side having an engagement area and first and second lips extending outwardly from the engagement areas. A molding is formed about the base and each of the sides and terminates at the engagement areas of the sides such that the molding is spaced from the lips, with the molding forming at least one bracket bonded to the extruded strip. A fastener is attached to the bracket for facilitating mounting of the assembly to the vehicle. The window seal assembly also includes an upper glass run seal assembly comprising additional extruded strips of material and a second molding for bonding the below belt seal assembly to the upper glass run seal assembly.
