Abstract
A glass run mounting assembly (“mounting assembly”) for a vehicle door. The mounting assembly includes an elongated stepped bracket and an elongated plate attached to the bracket. The plate and the bracket define a channel with a glass run retention member therein. The plate has an outer surface, an inner surface, and a wall thickness therebetween. The outer surface of the plate has an appliqué thereto. The elongated plate offsets the appliqué from the glass pane substantially by one of wall thickness of the elongated plate.
