The outer belt weatherstrip eliminates a threaded steel fastener and
utilizes a plastic clip retainer. This is industry’s first injection-molded
plastic output pinion, which ensures functionality for 6-way locating with just
1 clip. Tough PA 6/6 provides robustness for impact resistance and holding
force even after heat aging and high-pressure car washing. The application led to a 70% weight
reduction, direct cost savings of $850,000 USD annually and an indirect savings
of $450,000 USD each year.
