  • Publication number: 20200278324
    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.

  • Publication number: 20070245635
    Abstract: To provide an attachment structure of a weather strip for a vehicle capable of maintaining high-level sealing property even if the vehicle door is sucked outside during the run, while keeping excellent door-closing performance. The attachment structure comprises a base member to be attached to a retainer formed in a door sash, and a hollow seal portion integrally formed with the base member. The hollow seal portion is brought into contact with a body panel while the door is closed. A part of the body panel with which the hollow seal portion makes an elastic contact is configured as a parallel-sealing surface in parallel or roughly parallel to a sucked-out direction of the door during the run.
