Abstract:

A flush glass system module includes a header molding that is mounted to a vehicle door frame and extends along an upper edge of a window opening. A belt molding is mounted to the door frame and extends along a lower edge of the window opening. A hidden appliqué extends between the header molding and the belt molding. The hidden appliqué is extruded and includes a guidance channel having a pair of sealing lips. The guidance channel is adapted for receiving and guiding a window between raised and lowered positions. A slider is mounted to an inner surface of the window and is received in the guidance channel. The sealing lips sealingly engage with the slider as the window moves between the lowered and raised positions. The hidden appliqué is disposed entirely on the inner surface side of the window when the window is in the raised position.
