Seal for fixed window of motor vehicle with curved concave corners

A glass mounting seal for a fixedly mounted window of a motor vehicle, said seal comprising:

• (a) an elongate, main body of elastomeric material, said main body having exterior and interior sides with respect to said vehicle, said main body including a glass receiving channel having an exterior channel wall and further including a exterior leading edge with an exterior shoulder extending outwardly from said exterior leading edge;
• (b) an elongate resiliently flexible sealing lip integral with said main body and extending obliquely toward said interior side of said main body from a location outwardly adjacent said shoulder and spaced outwardly apart from said exterior leading edge, said sealing lip having a margin including a sealing surface facing toward said interior side of said main body;
• and
• (c) said main body including first and second elongate portions defining first and second axes that intersect at an angle, said sealing lip including first and second elongate portions defining axes generally parallel to said first and second axes, said first and second portions of said sealing lip meeting to form a curved concave corner.

A glass-supporting seal for a fixed window of a motor vehicle, comprising

• (a) an elongate elastomeric first main seal body having an exterior side and an interior side and defining a first channel of a size appropriate to receive a margin of structural member defining a window opening in said motor vehicle, and defining a second, glass-receiving channel of a size appropriate to receive a margin of a window pane, said main seal body including an exterior wall defining said glass-receiving channel, said exterior wall having leading edge and a shoulder extending outwardly away from said leading edge;
• (b) a resiliently flexible first sealing lip included in said first main seal body and extending along said glass-receiving channel on said exterior side of said main body, said sealing lip being biased inwardly toward said interior side of said main body and having a root located outwardly apart from said leading edge and having a margin spaced apart from said root and including a sealing surface;
• and
• (c) a second main seal body and a second sealing lip each having a portion that is integral with and substantially identical to said first main seal body and first sealing lip, said first and second main seal bodies joined together, said first and second sealing lips meeting to form a curved concave corner.

A T-shaped window seal for a fixedly mounted window of a motor vehicle, said T-shaped seal comprising an elongate stem number and an elongate cross number extending across one end of the stem, said stem and cross defining two glass receiving areas, one on either side of said stem, said stem including first and second glass seals, one on each of said stem sides, said stem seals comprising:

• (a) a main body of elastomeric material having exterior and interior sides with respect to said vehicle, said main body including a glass receiving channel and further an exterior leading edge with exterior shoulder extending outwardly from said exterior leading edge;
• (b) an elongate resiliently flexible sealing lip integral with said main body and extending obliquely toward said interior side of said main body from a location outwardly adjacent said shoulder and spaced outwardly apart from said exterior leading edge, said sealing lip having a margin including a sealing surface facing toward said interior side of said vertical main body;
• and
• (c) said cross member including a main body and sealing lip described in (a) and (b) above, said glass receiving channels facing said glass receiving areas on either side of said stem member, the intersection of said stem member and cross member forming a corner on each side of said stem member, said sealing lips of said stem member and said cross member joining to form a curved concave sealing surface in each of said corners.
