Onto the flange (6) an edge gap sealing profile (7) with a clamping groove (8) is pushed. The gap-free sealing between the edge gap sealing profile (7) and the rounded lid plate edge (20) is provided by a specially shaped sealing lip (16) of the edge gap sealing profile, which is subdivided for this purpose into two arms (23, 24) which, when the edge gap sealing profile (7) is pushed onto the flange (6), are automatically pressed tightly and with elastic prestress against the lid plate edge (20).

  • Patent number: 4483100
    Abstract: In a pane guide for a sliding window capable of being lowered into the window shaft (8) of an automobile, the windowpane (1) is laterally guided on windowframe components (4,5), in which back-cut guide channels (18,18') are provided, in which slide elements (23,23') are displaceably guided. The slide elements are connected with the windowpane (1), covering the windowframe components on the outer side of the vehicle, by carrier elements (19 to 22). Due to the mounting of the windowpane outside the windowframe, a projectionless lateral glazing of an automobile is made possible. At the lower end of at least one of the lateral windowframe components (4,5), the guide tube (11, 11') of a cable/tube window winder is connected in alignment with the guide channel (18, 18'). The threaded cable (12, 12') of the window winder extends into the guide channel (18, 18') and is fixed at least to one of the slide elements (19 to 22) situated therein.
