  • Patent number: 5388371
    Abstract: A door glass weatherstrip is provided for mounting on an automobile door along a belt line thereof. The weatherstrip includes a mounting base having an insert embedded therein and a lip seal which is in pressure contact with the door glass at the distal end portion thereof. A root portion of the seal lip is provided at the lower end of the mounting base. The insert is formed at the lower end thereof with a lower end extension which extends into the root portion of the seal lip for receiving a biasing force of the door glass exerted upon the seal lip. The root portion is prevented from deforming due to biasing of the door glass. High sealing ability of the door glass weatherstrip can be maintained for an extended period of time.
