A glass run channel is a groove, normally made of rubber or plastic, that is found around windows (most commonly car windows).[1][2][3][4] The primary purpose of a glass run channel is to provide a seal for the window.

Cleaning

[edit]

Due to the channel's narrowness, glass runs can be difficult to clean (or free from small obstructions like glass chips) without the use of a specialised cleaner.[5][unreliable source?]
