Abstract
Abstract A seal for a sliding window glass, in particular a connecting corner piece for connecting a inner seal for a lower edge of a door window frame to a glass run seal. The glass run seal having a base fixed to the window frame, and a hollow seal portion for sealing contact with the inner surface of the door glass and for forming a water escape. The glass run, lower edge, inner seal having another base fixed to the window frame and a first upright seal extending from an upper edge of the base, and a second seal portion upright from a lower edge of the base positioned to form a water escape. The glass run connecting corner piece comprising a longitudinal portion having the same cross-sectional shape as that of the glass run seal and connected thereto, and a transverse portion having the same cross-sectional shape as that of the glass run, lower edge, inner seal and connected thereto. The interconnection of the glass run seal and inner seal by the corner piece resulting in the water escape of the longitudinal portion communicated with the water escape of the transverse portion.
