ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a drain clip for use in combination with a weather strip for an automobile to drain water leaked into the weather strip attached to the flange of the body of the automobile, capable of being securely attached to a weather strip at a predetermined position on the weather strip so that the drain clip may not fall off the weather strip or may not be dislocated, and of improving the efficiency of the work for attaching the weather strip to the body of an automobile. The drain clip has a base part having an L-shaped cross section and provided in its outer surface with a drain groove formed so as to extend from one to the other end thereof. One of the legs of the drain clip is inserted between the flange of the body of the automobile and the weather strip put on the flange to form a drain passage connecting the internal space of the weather strip and the external environment. Bar-shaped holding arms project slightly obliquely inward and in opposite directions from the opposite side edges of one of the legs of the base part, respectively, so as to be engaged with one of the inner holding lips of the weather strip with their tips pressed against the inner surface of the weather strip.
