A glass run channel assembly for mounting on the door frame of an automotive vehicle and for accommodating a glass run seal and a glass window comprising a glass run channel upper frame, a glass run guide, and a glass run lower frame frame, each having a bottom wall and two side walls disposed on either side of the bottom wall, forming a U-shape. In operation, the lower frame is slidably engaged within the guide until the lower frame converges with a lower frame stop formed by a side wall of the guide. A tab locator is formed in each of the two side walls of the upper frame to guide the guide as it slidably engages within the upper frame. Upon sliding within the upper frame, a channel upper stop formed in a side wall of the guide converges with one of the tab locators on the upper frame locator, thereby preventing the guide from sliding too far into the upper frame.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is desirable to provide guide or an attachment connector for an automotive door that enables easy, remote installation of the glass run channel.
According to one aspect of the invention there is provided a glass run channel assembly for mounting on the door frame of an automotive vehicle and for accommodating a glass run seal and a glass window.
The glass run channel assembly has an upper frame, a lower frame locator or guide, and a lower frame, each having a bottom wall and two side walls disposed on either side of the bottom wall, forming a U-shape.
The lower frame is slidably engaged within the frame locator until the lower frame converges with a lower frame stop formed by a side wall of the frame locator.
A tab locator is formed in each of the two side walls of the upper frame to guide the frame locator as it slidably engages within the upper frame.
Upon sliding within the upper frame, a channel upper stop formed in a side wall of the lower frame locator converges with one of the tab locators on the upper frame locator, thereby preventing the frame locator from sliding too far into the upper frame.
According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a guide for a glass run channel assembly.
The guide has a bottom wall and two side walls defining a U-shaped cross-section.
One of the side walls includes a lower frame stop providing a stopping point for a lower frame as the lower frame slidably engages within the guide and a channel upper stop formed to provide a stopping point for an upper frame as the guide slidably engages within the upper frame.
