Abstract: A slide member for use in an automotive vehicle. The slide apparatus includes a first slide member having a slidably contacting surface. Additionally, a second slide member is provided having a slidably contacting surface which is in slidable contact with the slidably contacting surface of the first slide member. In this slide apparatus, at least one of the slidably contacting surfaces of the first and second slide members is formed of a transferable water repellent material having a water repellency and a sufficient transferability to form a transferred film of the transferable water repellent material on at least the other slidably contacting surface.

Abstract: A weatherstrip for an automobile includes an attaching portion having an inverse U-shape cross section. A rising portion is formed in a protruding manner on the attaching portion and lip pieces are formed for sealing between a door inner panel and a window glass. The rising portion includes a sloping guide that leads to a concave groove with which the trim end of a trim is fitted and latched. To attach the weatherstrip to the upper edge of an inner panel of a door beltline, the attaching portion is attached to the flange by insertion. Then the trim end of the trim is pressed against the guide and is, thrust so as to be fitted and latched with the concave groove. Since the trim end need not climb over the flange while keeping a weatherstrip attached thereto, even if the angle created by the door beltline and a pillar is an acute angle, the creation of a large gap between the weatherstrip end and the pillar is eliminated.

Abstract: A weatherstrip for an automobile comprises: an attaching portion 4 having an inverse U-shape in terms of its section; a rising portion 8 formed in a protruding manner on this attaching portion 4; and lip pieces 11 for sealing between a door inner panel and a window glass 9, and at the rising portion 8, a concave groove 6 with which the trim end of a trim 5 is fitted and latched and a sloping guide 7 leading to the concave groove 6 are formed. In order to attach the weatherstrip to the upper edge of an inner panel of a door beltline, the attaching portion 4 is attached to the flange 1a by insertion, then the trim end of the trim 5 is pressed against the guide 7 and is, in this condition, thrust so as to be fitted and latched with the concave groove 6.
