Patent ID: 8595982

Claim:
A glass run for guiding a door glass lifting or lowering into channel, which is fittable along a frame having a substantially U-shaped cross section of an automobile door, the glass run comprising: a body having a substantially U-shaped cross-section including an inner-cabin side wall, an outer-cabin side wall and a connecting wall which connects the inner-cabin and outer-cabin side walls; an inner lip which extends toward said connecting wall side from an inner surface of said inner-cabin side wall and which is slidably brought into contact with said door glass; and an outer lip which extends toward an inner-cabin side from an inner surface of an end of said outer-cabin side wall and which is slidably brought into contact with said door glass, the outer lip being forked into an inner-attaching lip which extends toward said connecting wall side from an inner surface of the end of said outer-cabin side wall and faces said inner lip and an outer-attaching lip which extends substantially perpendicularly to a direction in which the inner-attaching lip extends from an opposite side to said connecting wall side of a base root of said inner-attaching lip; wherein before said door glass is guided into said channel, the outer-attaching lip of said outer lip is set on a position where a top end of the outer lip is spaced from the door glass guided into said channel or, even in case the top end touches the door glass, the door glass being ineffective in moving the top end of the outer lip toward the connecting wall side; a folding point is formed by thinning thickness of said connecting wall side of the base root of said inner-attaching lip or by forming a notch from an inner-cabin side for turning said inner-attaching lip toward said connecting wall side; thickness of the base root of said inner-attaching lip is thicker than the thickness on said folding point and thickness of the base root of said outer-attaching lip is thinner than a thickness of the top end of the outer-attaching lip; and when said door glass is guided into said channel and slidably brought into contact with said inner-attaching lip, the inner-attaching lip turns toward said connecting wall side around said folding point, said outer-attaching lip approaches said door glass side and is slidably brought into contact with the door glass following movement of said inner-attaching lip, and the top end of said outer-attaching lip bends and moves toward an opposite side to said connecting wall side along said door glass.
