Rain channels, drip rails & drip mouldings

Roof-line and body profiles that collect and channel rainwater away from doors and windows.

Overview

Rain channels, drip rails and drip mouldings run along a vehicle's roof line and door openings. They carry water away from the door seals and glass, and on many vehicles they are also a visible styling line.

We have roll formed rain channels and drip profiles for front, side, rear and corner positions. The range also includes roof troughs, water drain channels, retainers and weather strip beading.

Applications

  • Roof-line rain channels
  • Front, side and rear drip rails
  • Drip mouldings
  • Roof troughs and water drain channels
  • Weather strip beading and retainers

How it is made

These profiles are cold roll formed. A metal strip passes through a series of roll stations, and each station bends it progressively until the strip reaches the required cross-section at room temperature. Learn about our manufacturing capabilities.

Specifications

Profile dimensions, material and thickness are set by each customer's drawing. Send your drawing with your enquiry and we will review it.
