Abstract:
A car door glass run being attachable to a car door frame along an inner circumference thereof, said glass run comprising:a body portion having a substantially U-shape in section, said U-shape being formed by an interior side wall, an exterior side wall and a bottom wall; first and second seal lips extending from said interior and exterior side walls of said body portion respectively toward said bottom wall so as to approach each other, so that said first and second seal lips hold a circumferential edge portion of a door glass from both sides thereof when the door glass is shut, said first seal lip protruding at an acute angle with respect to said interior side wall; and a sub-lip being formed to extend from an intermediate portion of said interior side wall at an acute angle with respect to said interior side wall, said sub-lip extending substantially in parallel with said first seal lip so as to have an end disposed to be closer to said interior wall and closer to said bottom wall than an end of said first seal lip, wherein said first seal lip has an end, a protrusion formed at an end portion of said end, a base portion extending from the interior side wall, and a notch formed in said first seal lip at a position near said base portion, wherein a thickness of said base portion of said first seal lip tapers between said interior side wall and an end portion of said base portion so that said first seal lip can bend toward said sub-lip with said notch being a fulcrum and said end of said first seal lip being positioned adjacent said end of said sub-lip, wherein a distance between the position where said notch is formed and an inner surface of said interior side wall is smaller than or equal to a distance between the end of said sub-lip and the inner surface of the interior side wall, and wherein said protrusion projects out toward said sub-lip so as to abut against a side surface of a front end of said sub-lip when said first seal lip is substantially bent.
