Abstract
An edge seal polymer profile (31) attached proximate the peripheral edge of a vehicle window glazing (1), wherein the profile (31) is adapted to cover the gap or channel between the glazing edge and the adjacent vehicle window frame in an aesthetically pleasing manner. In an exemplary embodiment, a flexible lip of the profile (31) bends back toward the exterior surface (2) of the glazing/substrate upon insertion of the glazing into the vehicle window frame, thereby bending or flexing into a position where an end portion (e.g., approximately T-shaped end portion) of the lip is approximately flush with the exterior surface (2) of the glazing and the exterior surface of the window frame. Thus, the end portion of the lip covers the gap or channel between the glazing edge and the adjacent window frame after being bent due to the glazing's placement/insertion into the vehicle window frame, and a portion of the distal end portion of the lip comes to rest upon a resting wall (43) of the base portion of the polymer profile.
