ABSTRACT:
A U-shaped polymeric strip to be mounted on a body flange adjacent a vehicle door opening has an improved sealing structure for preventing moisture from seeping around the end of the body flange inside the U-shaped strip. The sealing structure is located at the inside of the base of the U-shaped strip and comprises a polymeric material, such as sponge rubber, that is relatively soft compared to the relatively hard polymeric material of the main portions of the strip. The relatively soft polymeric material of the sealing structure is formed into two parts, each having a convex outer surface, separated by a slot that extends lengthwise of the strip and receives the edge of the body flange.
