An insert for a run slide for a vehicle window. The insert may be overmoulded to form a connecting wedge between two strands of the run slide. The insert may be formed in one piece and is configured to cooperate with a portion of a vehicle door frame. The insert is further configured to cooperate with a portion of a hubcap to be attached to one of the strands. The insert includes a protruding pin configured to be engaged in a recess of a rabbet of the vehicle door frame to index the insert along an axis X substantially parallel to an axis of elongation of the rabbet. The insert is configured to cooperate with the portion of the hubcap to ensure indexing the hubcap along the axis X and along an axis Z perpendicular to X and substantially parallel to an axis of elongation of the hubcap.
An insert for a run slide for a vehicle window, the insert being adapted to be overmoulded to form a connecting wedge between two strands of the run slide, the insert being formed in one piece and comprising first indexing means configured to cooperate with a portion of a door frame of the vehicle and second indexing means configured to cooperate with a portion of a cover adapted to be attached to one of the said strands, wherein said first indexing means comprise at least one protruding pin configured to be engaged in a notch of a rabbet of the door frame of the vehicle in order to ensure indexing of said insert along an axis X substantially parallel to an axis of elongation of the rabbet, and wherein said second indexing means are configured to cooperate by complementary shapes with said portion of the cover in order to ensure indexing of said cover along said axis X and along an axis Z perpendicular to X and substantially parallel to an axis of elongation of said cover.
