  • Publication number: 20100077670
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a corner connecting portion for a sealing gasket of a motor vehicle window glass, the gasket forming a window glass run channel of the hidden frame type. It is designed to connect a top segment to an ascending segment of the glass run channel, and it comprises: an upper part comprising an upper face designed to be sealingly mounted under the vehicle bodywork and a lower face designed to be mounted on said pillar by mounting means, and a lower part which is connected to the upper part by forming a “?” designed to surround an outer end of said pillar and which is designed to be sealingly in contact with the window glass. The mounting means comprise a pin which is inserted into a corresponding through hole formed in the upper part so as to extend from the upper face to the lower face, the pin being pushed through a pillar opening in an assembly position, to minimize the displacements of the gasket in response to ageing and fatigue cycles due to slams of the door.
