Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A seal system for retaining a seal in between a fixed quarter glass and a moveable window glass can include a first seal carrier attached to the fixed quarter glass, a second seal carrier attached to the first seal carrier, a seal retained by the first and second seal carriers, and a beauty cover disposed over the first and second seal carriers when viewed from inside a vehicle. The seal system can be assembled by attaching the first seal carrier to the quarter glass, joining the second seal carrier to the first seal carrier, placing the seal such that it is retained by the first and second seal carriers, and fitting the first and second seal carriers with the beauty cover. When assembled, the seal system retains the seal to seal the vehicle between the fixed quarter glass and the movable window glass.

A seal system for use in a vehicle, comprising: a first seal carrier attached to a quarter glass of the vehicle; a second seal carrier attached to the first seal carrier; a beauty cover attached to the first seal carrier and the second seal carrier; and a seal attached to the first seal carrier and to the second seal carrier such that the first seal carrier and second seal carrier are located between the seal and the beauty cover. 2 . The seal system of claim 1 , wherein the first seal carrier is attached to the quarter glass via a rubber encapsulation. 3 . The seal system of claim 2 , wherein the first seal carrier comprises a plurality of holes configured to receive rubber encapsulation material. 4 . The seal system of claim 1 , wherein: the first seal carrier comprises first retention tabs, the second seal carrier comprises second retention tabs, and the first seal carrier and the second seal carrier are attached by the first retention tabs and the second retention tabs. 5 . The seal system of claim 4 , wherein: one of the first retention tabs and the second retention tabs comprise raised tabs, and another of the first retention tabs and the second retention tabs comprise holes configured to accommodate the raised tabs of the one of the first retention tabs and the second retention tabs. 6 . The seal system of claim 1 , wherein: the beauty cover includes a clip, the first seal carrier comprises a plurality of substrates, each substrate having an undercut at one of its edges, and the beauty cover and the first seal carrier are attached by the undercuts of the plurality of substrates and the clip. 7 . The seal system of claim 1 , wherein: the beauty cover includes a first clip, the second seal carrier comprises a second clip, and the beauty cover and the second seal carrier are attached by the first clip and the second clip. 8 . The seal system of claim 1 , wherein: the beauty cover is slideably removable from the first seal carrier and the second seal carrier. 9 . The seal system of claim 1 , wherein: the first seal carrier includes a first seal clip, the second seal carrier includes a second seal clip, and the seal is retained by the first seal clip and the second seal clip. 10 . A vehicle comprising: a vehicle body; a quarter glass fixed to the vehicle body; a door; a window glass retained by the door; and a seal system comprising: a first seal carrier attached to the quarter glass; a second seal carrier attached to the first seal carrier; a beauty cover attached to the first seal carrier and the second seal carrier; and a seal attached to the first seal carrier and the second seal carrier such that the first seal carrier and second seal carrier are between the seal and the beauty cover. 11 . The vehicle of claim 10 , wherein the beauty cover is disposed in an inside of the vehicle. 12 . The vehicle of claim 10 , wherein: a position of the quarter glass relative to the vehicle body is fixed, and the window glass is configured to move up and down relative to the door. 13 . The vehicle of claim 10 , wherein the first seal carrier is attached to the quarter glass via a rubber encapsulation. 14 . The vehicle of claim 13 , wherein the first seal carrier comprises a plurality of holes configured to accommodate rubber encapsulation material. 15 . The vehicle of claim 10 , wherein: the first seal carrier comprises first retention tabs, the second seal carrier comprises second retention tabs, and the first seal carrier and the second seal carrier are attached by the first retention tabs and the second retention tabs. 16 . The vehicle of claim 15 , wherein: one of the first retention tabs and the second retention tabs comprise raised tabs, and another of the first retention tabs and the second retention tabs comprise holes configured to accommodate the raised tabs of the one of the first retention tabs and the second retention tabs. 17 . The vehicle of claim 10 , wherein: the beauty cover includes a clip, the first seal carrier comprises a plurality of substrates, each substrate having an undercut at one of its edges, and the beauty cover and the first seal carrier are attached by the undercuts of the plurality of substrates and the clip. 18 . The vehicle of claim 10 , wherein: the beauty cover includes a first clip, the second seal carrier comprises a second clip, and the beauty cover and the second seal carrier are attached by the first clip and the second clip. 19 .
