ABSTRACT:
An automotive wheelhouse sealing strip for providing a secondary seal to prevent infiltration and accumulation of dirt and mud in the gap between a rear door and a rear door opening in the vicinity of the wheelhouse of a four-door sedan vehicle includes a fully molded weather sealing member which is formed to accurately conform to the shape of the portion of the door opening to which the weather sealing member is to be attached, thereby providing an aesthetically pleasing tight engagement between the vehicle body and the sealing member. The sealing strip generally includes a weather sealing lip having a sealing surface which sealingly abuts an inner peripheral surface of a vehicle rear door when the rear door is in the closed position, and a base portion which is adapted to be attached to a vehicle body part at a peripheral surface generally defining the rear door opening.
