ABSTRACT:
A spacer for a sealing member, such as a weather-strip, of an opening/closing member of automotive vehicle is provided to prevent collapse of a hollow lip portion of the sealing member at corner portions thereof. The spacer may be formed cylindrically, or so as to conform to a shape of an inner surface of the hollow lip. In addition, an out wall of the spacer is segmented and formed with a bellows, or accordion-like configuration such that when the spacer, or any portion thereof, is contracted due to bending, or the like, affected segments or portions thereof at the spacer wall contract and are aligned so as to provide a substantially rigid, contiguous surface at the contraction.
