  • Patent number: 8196354
    Abstract: A glass run for use in a motor vehicle, of which corner sections are readily manufactured with excellent sealing properties. A main body of each of straight sections and corner sections of the glass run has an outer side wall, an inner side wall and a bottom wall, which define a generally U-shaped cross-section, and an outer seal lip and an inner seal lip are respectively provided in the outer side wall and the inner side wall. The straight sections and the corner sections are joined to each other via joints, and the inner side wall is formed greater than the outer side wall. A sub-seal rib is provided to protrude outwardly from an exterior surface of the outer side wall of each of the corner sections so as to face a position in which an end of the outer seal lip contacts the outer side wall when the door glass contacts the outer seal lip.
