Abstract

A sealing arrangement for sealing the edge of a window glass comprises a metal channel mounted at least partially around the window opening so as to be open towards the direction along which the edge of the window glass approaches in closing the opening. A hollow rubber tube is secured within this channel. Two flocked leaves are integral with the tube and extend longitudinally along the surface of the tube which faces the distal edge of the window glass. These leaves are parallel to each other and spaced slightly apart so as to define a longitudinally extending open mouth facing the glass edge. The approaching window glass partially flattens the tube and thereby causes the facing surfaces of the leaves to press against the sides of the window glass immediately adjacent its distal edge.
