ABSTRACT:
A door seal has a base portion comprising straight sections joined at their ends to form corner joints with another section, at least four first seal sections each of which are disposed at a respective one of the corner joints, and a plurality of second seal portions each having a length that extends between a spaced pair of the first seal sections. The first seal sections comprise a pair of spaced lip seals, whereas the second seal sections comprise a lip seal and a compression seal. The seal avoids the problem of undesirable compression seal distortion at the corners joints.
