1. A glass run for sealing a door glass, wherein the glass run is adapted to be fixed on a channel of a vehicle door, the glass run comprising:

  • a first extrusion including a first base, which has a longitudinally elongated body, a first couple of side walls, each of which longitudinally extends along the first base from one side of the first base, a first couple of seal lips, each of which inwardly extends from a respective one of the first couple of side walls, wherein the first couple of seal lips is adapted to seal a peripheral portion of the door glass, and a cover lip, which outwardly extends from an inside end of an inner side wall of the first couple of side walls and is adapted to cover a side end of an interior member of the vehicle door;

    a second extrusion including a second base, which has a longitudinally elongated body, a second couple of side walls, each of which longitudinally extends along the second base from one side of the second base, a second couple of seal lips , each of which inwardly extends from a respective one of the second couple of side walls, wherein the second couple of seal lips is adapted to seal the peripheral portion of the door glass, and an insert lip, which outwardly extends from an inside end of an inner side wall of the second couple of side walls and is adapted to be inserted below the side end of the interior member of the vehicle door; and

    a molded corner portion, which connects the first extrusion and the second extrusion and is adapted to be set at a corner of the vehicle door, the molded corner portion including a molded base, which has an angled body, a couple of molded side walls, each of which is formed along the molded base from one side of the molded base, a couple of molded seal lips, each of which inwardly extends from a respective one end of the molded side walls, wherein the couple of molded seal lips is adapted to seal the peripheral portion of the door glass, a molded cover lip, which is continuously formed with the cover lip of the first extrusion and outwardly extends from an inside end of an inner side wall of the couple of the molded side walls, and a molded insert lip, which is continuously formed with the insert lip of the second extrusion and outwardly extends from an inside surface of the inner side wall of the couple of the molded side walls,wherein the molded corner portion has a first end, which is joined with the first extrusion, and a second end, which is joined with the second extrusion, and a middle part, which is located between the first end and the second end,wherein the molded cover lip extends continuously from the first end toward the second end and terminates at a hem, which is located at an inside end of the inner side wall of the couple of the molded sidewalls and above the second end,wherein the molded insert lip extends from the second end of the molded corner part towards the middle part in a vertical direction and terminates at a point that is between a top of the middle part and the second end, and the molded insert lip is continuously formed with the insert lip of the second extrusion at the second end, andwherein the molded cover lip and the molded insert lip are separate from one another and discontinuous,wherein the molded cover lip and the molded insert lip overlap with each other by a predetermined length on the molded corner portion.
