ABSTRACT:
A door seal is mounted to run around the periphery of the door in a vehicle body and is mounted relatively adjacent to the outer surface of the door so as not only to perform the normal sealing action between the door and door frame but also to ensure that soiling of the door aperture itself by ingress of dirt and moisture is prevented or reduced and to reduce wind noise. The door seal has a sealing part integrally extruded with a mounting part. The latter defines a hollow interior of triangular cross-section in which is mounted a metal carrier. The base of the hollow interior is closed off by a web which supports an adhesive strip for mounting the seal on the door. The metal carrier has an extrusion which is slightly longitudinally compressible so as to permit controlled compression of the adjacent part of the seal where it is curved to follow a curve in the door. A non-stretchable tape may be incorporated to prevent unsightly stretching of the outside of the door seal at such a bend. The metal carrier provides a support against which the sealing part is partially compressed when the door closes.
