Abstract
A corner piece for an automobile has a resin insert covered partly with a high molecular elastic material. The resin insert has a bracket body portion and a glass run portion molded together as a unit from a synthetic resin. The bracket body and glass run portions have a common channel along their rear side, and the channel is covered with a high molecular elastic material to form a glass run, or it is fitted with a separate glass run. A reinforcing metal insert is embedded in the bottom of the channel between the bracket body portion and the glass run portion. The reinforcing metal insert reinforces a door belt line, so that the corner piece can mount a large and heavy door mirror and can also be expected to be of improved durability.
