FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view of the mold assembly including a molding substrate filling the insert cavity. - Referring to
FIG. 1 , a motor vehicle, generally shown at 10, includes adoor 12 defining a window opening 14. Thewindow opening 14 is selectively closed by awindow pane 16. A weatherstrip assembly, generally indicated at 18, is attached to a door frame of thedoor 12 and extends along a portion of the window opening 14. It is appreciated that theweatherstrip assembly 18 may be mounted to any of numerous structures at various locations throughout themotor vehicle 10. In one embodiment, theweatherstrip assembly 18 is an outer belt or belt line molding. - Referring to
FIGS. 2 and 3 , theweatherstrip assembly 18 includes a sealingmolding 20. The sealingmolding 20 is an elongated member that extends between opposing first 22 and second 24 ends. The sealingmolding 20 includes amounting portion 26 and asealing portion 28, as shown inFIG. 4 . Themounting portion 26 includes spaced apart first 30 and second 32 legs joined together by aweb 33. Thefirst leg 30 extends along theentire sealing molding 20 between the first 22 and second 24 ends while thesecond leg 32 extends along a portion of thesealing molding 20. The first 30 and second 32 legs define achannel 34 therebetween for receiving a flange of the door frame. Themounting portion 26 also includesretention members 36 extending out from thefirst leg 30 and into thechannel 34 to lock the flange in place therewithin. Themounting portion 26 further includes ashelf surface 37 extending out from thesecond leg 32 and into thechannel 34. Acarrier 38 is embedded in themounting portion 26 to provide rigidity to the sealingmolding 20. Thecarrier 38 is typically formed from metal. - The
sealing portion 28 includes anupper seal member 40 and alower seal member 42 each extending out from thesecond leg 32 in an opposite direction from thechannel 34. The upper 40 and lower 42 seal members extend generally between the door frame and thewindow pane 16 to prevent external elements, such as rainwater, from entering between thedoor 12 and thewindow pane 16. The underside of the upper 40 and lower 42 seal members is provided withconventional flock material 44. The sealingportion 28 also includes asealing flange 46. - The
mounting portion 26 and the sealingportion 28 of the sealingmolding 20 are extruded together in an in-line extrusion process. Typically, the sealingmolding 20 is extruded from a thermoplastic material. After themounting portion 26 and thesealing portion 28 are extruded, acover trim member 48 is secured to an outboard surface of thefirst leg 30 of themounting portion 26 for aesthetic and protective purposes. - An insert, generally indicated at 50, is fixedly secured to the
sealing molding 20, as shown inFIG. 3 , to provide rigidity to thesecond end 24 of thesealing molding 20. Theinsert 50 is a generally rigid member that may be formed from any of numerous plastic materials. - Referring to
FIGS. 5 and 6 , theinsert 50 includes amain body 52 extending longitudinally between first 54 and second 56 ends. Themain body 52 includes opposing inner 58 and outer 60 surfaces and defines spaced apartapertures inner surface 58 includes anindenture 66 adjacent thefirst end 54 of themain body 52. Theinner surface 58 also includes aprotrusion 68 extending out therefrom. Theprotrusion 68 defines abore 70 that is aligned with theaperture 62. - The
outer surface 60 of themain body 52 includes arecessed portion 72. In the current embodiment, therecessed portion 72 extends between the first 54 and second 56 ends of themain body 52. Therecessed portion 72 includes anupper section 74 and alower section 76. Thelower section 76 is offset inwardly from theupper section 74. Theouter surface 60 further includes atab 78 disposed above theaperture 62. Themain body 52 further includes alip 80 disposed around thesecond end 56. - The
insert 50 includes ahead 82 fixedly secured to thefirst end 54 of themain body 52 and extending out therefrom. Thehead 82 is shaped to complement at least a portion of thechannel 34 of themounting portion 26 so as to provide a frictional fit when thehead 82 is inserted into thechannel 34, as shown inFIG. 7 . Thehead 82 includes abottom surface 84, which may be generally flat, and anouter wall 86 extending out therefrom. Thehead 82 further includes anopening 88 defined by thebottom surface 84 and theouter wall 86. - When the
head 82 is fitted inside thechannel 34, theinsert 50 is secured to the sealingmolding 20. And when theinsert 50 and sealingmolding 20 are secured to one another in such a fashion, theinsert 50 and the sealingmolding 20 define aninsert cavity 90 therebetween, as shown inFIG. 10 . It is appreciated that the particular size and shape of theinsert cavity 90 may vary. - Referring to
FIGS. 8 and 9 , amolding substrate 92 is disposed within theinsert cavity 90 formed between the sealingmolding 20 and theinsert 50. Themolding substrate 92 bonds theinsert 50 with the sealingmolding 20. Themolding substrate 92 fills in the recessedportion 72 formed along theouter surface 60 of theinsert 50. - In addition, the
molding substrate 92 provides atop closeout surface 94 and anend closeout surface 95 to provide the sealingmolding 20 with a finished appearance. Thetop closeout surface 94 abuts against one end of the sealingflange 46 and extends out to thesecond end 24 of the sealingmolding 20. Theend closeout surface 95 is formed along thelip 80 at the second end of themain body 52 of theinsert 50. It is appreciated that the particular configuration, shape, and dimensions of themolding substrate 92 may vary depending upon the shape of the sealingmolding 20, theinsert 50, and/or theinsert cavity 90 formed therebetween. - Referring to
FIGS. 10 and 11 , a mold assembly, generally shown at 94, is utilized to manufacture theweatherstrip assembly 18. Themold assembly 94 includes amovable plate 96 and a fixedplate 98 defining amold cavity 100. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, themovable plate 96 is a top plate and the fixedplate 98 is a bottom plate. The top 96 and bottom 98 plates may be formed from steel. - In a method of manufacturing the
weatherstrip assembly 18, a portion of the extruded sealingmolding 20, including the mountingportion 26 and the sealingportion 28, is placed along thebottom plate 98 within themold cavity 100. Thehead 82 of theinsert 50 is inserted into thechannel 34 formed in the sealingmolding 20. Because thehead 82 is shaped to complement thechannel 34, the result is a snug fit that at least temporarily secures theinsert 50 to the sealingmolding 20. At the same time, securing theinsert 50 to the sealingmolding 20 forms theinsert cavity 90 between theinsert 50 and the sealingmolding 20. Thetop plate 96 is closed against thebottom plate 98 to clamp theinsert 50 in place against the sealingmolding 20 in place. At this stage, themold cavity 100 and theinsert cavity 90 are open to one another. Plastic material is injected into themold cavity 100 and enters theinsert cavity 90 between theinsert 50 and the sealingmolding 20 to form themolding substrate 92. Themolding substrate 92 bonds theinsert 50 with the sealingmolding 20. In addition, thetop closeout surface 94 of themolding substrate 92 abuts against one end of the sealingflange 46 and extends out to thesecond end 24 of the sealingmolding 20 while theend closeout surface 95 of themolding substrate 92 is formed along thelip 80 at the second end of themain body 52 of theinsert 50. As a result, theweatherstrip assembly 18 has a finished, aesthetically-pleasing appearance. - The attachment of the
insert 50 to the sealingmolding 20 prior to injection of the plastic material into themold assembly 94 produces theinsert cavity 90 in an area that is normally inaccessible to plastic material due to the configuration of the top 96 and bottom 98 plates. Thus, theinsert 50 allows utilization of aconventional mold assembly 94 to manufacture theweatherstrip assembly 18. - The invention has been described in an illustrative manner. It is to be understood that the terminology, which has been used, is intended to be in the nature of words of description rather than of limitation. Many modifications and variations of the invention are possible in light of the above teachings. Therefore, within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced other than as specifically described.
