Extruded member corner connection

A connecting device for coupling first and second members, the connecting device comprising:

• a body having a first leg and a second leg integrally connected to the first leg, the first leg and the second leg oriented at an angle with respect to each other;
• a rigid material core extending through both the first leg and the second leg, the core including a first core member integrally connected to a second core member, the first core member angularly oriented with respect to the second core member such that the core defines a geometric shape;
• a resilient material sleeve commonly covering the core of both the first leg and the second leg, the first leg frictionally received in the first member and the second leg frictionally received in the second member to couple the first member to the second member, and
• the sleeve including at least one rib extending outwardly from a face of the sleeve, the at least one rib including at least a first rib and a second rib remotely positioned from each other about the sleeve, the first rib and the second rib both elastically compressed when the first leg is frictionally received in the first member and the second leg is frictionally received in the second member.

A door system for a motor vehicle, comprising:

• a connector having a first leg and a second leg integrally connected to the first leg, the first and the second legs angularly oriented with respect to each other, each of the first leg and the second leg including:
• a rigid material core extending through both the first leg and the second leg;
• a resilient material sleeve at least partially covering the core;
• and
• a depression created in each of the first leg and the second leg extending through the sleeve to the core;
• a first frame member having a first dimple created before or after the first leg is frictionally received in the first frame member, the first dimple positioned proximate to and extending into the depression of the first frame member to mechanically couple the first frame member to the first leg;
• and
• a second frame member having a second dimple created before or after the second leg is frictionally received in the second frame member, the second dimple positioned proximate to and extending into the depression of the second frame member to mechanically couple the second frame member to the second leg and thereby mechanically couple the first frame member to the second frame member.
