ABSTRACT:
In an automotive door weather strip arrangement, including a primary door weather strip for sealing an inner gap between a door sash of an automotive door and a body panel, and a secondary door weather strip for sealing an outer gap between the door sash and the body panel, a first seal lip extending from the primary door weather strip overlaps a second seal lip extending from an opposing surface of the secondary door weather strip. Thus, a favorable sealing can be achieved by the slidable contact between the first seal lip and the second seal lip. Because the contact pressure between the two seal lips is not affected by the deformation of either one of the door weather strips, a permanent set of the seal lips can be avoided. Because the contact area between the two seal lips extends over an area of a certain size, a highly effective and durable sealing performance can be achieved.
