THE INVENTION
The invention is directed to a molding process for
manufacture of a cover unit of a vehicle roof. The process
includes the following steps:
1. A cover plate 3 is placed onto the reinforcing frame 4.
2. A reinforcing frame 4 and the cover plate 3 is placed in
the
center of a lower mold 14.
3. A resiliently deformable peripheral seal 5 is placed in the
mold so that an encircling edge gap sealing profile of
the seal extends along the inner edge of the mold.
The seal is placed such that an interspace remains
between the peripheral seal 5 and both the cover plate 3
and the reinforcing frame 4.
4. The mold is closed.
5. Synthetic plastic material is injected into the interspace
so as to surround an inwardly directed part of the
peripheral seal, mold the rigid seal receiving frame,
