Problems solved by technology

However, it will be appreciated that this method can be labor intensive and may require expensive machining
Here, especially where vehicle applications require tight tolerances in molded seal assemblies that dictate the finished product, tolerance stack-up and labor-intensive assembly generally lead to high scrap rates

Embodiment Construction

[0025] Referring now to the drawings, in which like numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, in figure 1 20 in place shows a part of the car passenger vehicle. The vehicle 20 has a body generally indicated at 22 and a plurality of doors 24 coupled to the body 22 . Each of the doors 24 has a window frame 26 defining a window 28 and a seal assembly 30 adjacent to the window frame 26 . In the exemplary embodiment illustrated herein and depicted throughout the drawings, the seal assembly 30 is implemented as a window seal assembly 30 that is coupled to the window frame 26 and extends along at least a portion of the window frame 26, as described in more detail below. describe. However, those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the seal assembly 30 may be implemented in many different ways for different vehicle 20 applications or for different types of vehicles 20 without departing from the scope of the present invention. Additionally, w...

Abstract

A method of manufacturing a seal assembly for attachment to a vehicle having a mounting point and a vehicle point spaced from the mounting point at a distance with an apparatus having first and secondreceptacles, a cavity, and a locator receptacle spaced from the cavity, includes: extruding a first strip to form a first body between first ends; extruding a second strip to form a second body between second ends; providing a locator; positioning the locator into the locator receptacle; positioning a first end into the first receptacle with the first body engaging the locator; positioning a second end into the second receptacle; forming a mold at the cavity bonding the strips together at a mold point; and bonding the locator to the first body so a distance between the bonded locator and themold point is equal to the distance between the mounting point and the vehicle point.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This patent application claims priority and all benefit of US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 246,382, filed October 26, 2015, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to seal assemblies and, more particularly, to methods of making seal assemblies having retainers. Background technique [0004] Conventional seal assemblies are used in many different industries to provide a seal between different components that may be movable relative to each other. By way of non-limiting example, sealing components such as weatherstrips, weatherstrips, glass run moldings, window weatherstrips, etc. are used in the automotive industry to seal between a vehicle door that defines a window opening and a glass panel , the glass panel is supported for sliding movement relative to the door to selectively close the window opening. These conven...
