Abstract
A door glass-run for automobiles is used in the fitted state to the frame of a car-door whose window opening is divided vertically by a division-bar such that a liftable-window and a quarter-window assembly are fitted to the window opening with the division-bar constructing part of the quarter-window assembly. The glass-run comprises a roof-side portion for holding the respective upper sides of the liftable-window and the quarter-window which includes a design lip disposed outside the car, and a division-bar portion branched from the roof-side portion. The roof-side portion is made of an integrally extruded component. The roof-side portion is notched at a branch section, from which the division-bar portion branches, to define a notched portion which includes at least the design lip. The notched portion is connected at its face on the side of the liftable window via a molded portion with a separate division bar portion. A slit of predetermined length is formed extending from the face on the side of the liftable window toward a root portion so that the division bar portion can be bent independently of the design lip.
