Single Track
This common design has been used for decades and features limited flexibility, stability, good processing strength, and as much rigidity as required - all in one design. These have typically been used in window seals.
Double Track
This design features high tensile strength, limited flexibility, and as much rigidity as required. Common in application that require movement in one plane or along one axis.
Flex Carrier
Commonly used in door opening and trunk lid seals, this design offers good flexibility, movement in multiple planes and can be customized for neutral access placement and for specific bending requirements. These parts are also usually considered to be more cost effective.
Stagger
This design has been present for many years and is typically found in trunk lid seals. Good flexibility in multiple axis and reduced “hungry horse” effect are key characteristics of this design.
