• and
• a door including an outer door panel, an inner door panel cooperating with the outer door panel to define a receiving area, and a glass run channel provided within the receiving area, the glass run channel including:
• a header comprising:
• an upper header wall;
• an outer header wall extending from the upper header wall;
• an inner header wall extending from the upper header wall opposite the outer header wall;
• a cover lip extending from a distal end of the inner header wall;
• and
• a hook portion initially extending from the distal end of the inner header wall below the cover lip in a direction away from the cover lip;
• and
• one or more inserts encased within the header, the one or more inserts including an upper insert wall provided within the upper header wall, an insert body extending from the upper insert wall, and a hook wall initially extending from a lower end of the insert body, extending in a direction away from the upper insert wall, and extending through the hook portion of the header,
• wherein the hook portion of the header surrounding the hook wall of the one or more inserts defines a hook having an opening formed below and between the cover lip and a distal end of the hook portion, the hook extending in a direction toward the outer door panel.

A method comprising:

• forming a header including an outer header wall, an upper header wall extending from the outer header wall, an inner header wall extending from the upper header wall, a cover lip extending from a distal end of the inner header wall, and a hook portion initially extending from the distal end of the inner header wall below the cover lip in a direction away from the cover lip;
• forming one or more notches in the upper header wall and the inner header wall;
• positioning one or more inserts within a respective one of the one or more notches, the one or more inserts includes an upper insert wall provided within the upper header wall, an insert body extending from the upper insert wall within the inner header wall, and a hook wall initially extending from a lower end of the insert body, extending in a direction away from the upper insert wall, and extending through the hook portion of the header;
• and
• injecting material into the header to surround the one or more inserts,
• wherein the hook portion of the header surrounding the hook wall of the one or more inserts defines a hook having an opening formed below and between the cover lip and a distal end of the hook portion, the hook extending in a direction toward the outer header wall.
