ABSTRACT:
A mechanically interlocked belt type weatherstrip provides a seal between the upper portion of a door and the lower portion a window. The weatherstrip comprises three individual components: a cover, a body and a sealing lip. These components may be either extruded or molded depending particularly upon the configurations of their terminal portions. All of the components may be one of a wide variety of black flexible plastic or elastomeric materials. However, because each of the components is separate, they can be manufactured of different materials and of different colors to provide specifically desired properties. The weatherstrip is formed by snapping the body and the cover together which holds the sealing lip securely in place between the cover and the body. The weatherstrip thus allows versatility of the selection of the separate components to meet the individual style and functional needs of a particular motor vehicle design.
