ABSTRACT:
A fastener joins a pair of ends of a weather-strip, where the weather-strip has a channel shaped weather-strip carrier of elastomeric material with an encapsulated U-shaped reinforcement. The spaced apart walls of the carrier are connected by a base and one of the walls of the carrier carries a bulbous weather-strip portion of the weather-strip. The fastener has a base for engaging the base of the carrier. A first wall of the fastener is formed integrally with the base and projects normally from the base for engaging one of the walls of the carrier. A second wall of the fastener is formed integrally with the base and projects normally from the base for engaging the other wall of the carrier. A pair of prongs is formed integrally with the base and projects normally from the base with each prong piercing the base of the carrier near one of the ends and each prong being bent after piercing the base for mechanically retaining the base of the carrier near the end of the carrier. The second wall of the fastener has an end which is crimped over the other wall of the carrier for retaining the other wall in engagement with the fastener whereby the fastener assembly mechanically connects the ends of the weather-strip.
