ABSTRACT:
A channel-shaped sealing strip for vehicle door openings, for example, is shown. It has a gripping section incorporating a metal carrier covered in flexible covering material which additionally defines longitudinally extending gripping lips. The sealing strip is formed into a loop, ring or frame to suit a particular vehicle door opening. Along those lengths of the loop intended to be fitted to the portions of the door opening between the latter's sharp bends or corners, the gripping section is provided with additional reinforcing members which seat in the base of the channel. The reinforcing members are made of stiff metal but which can be bent slightly, when the sealing strip is fitted into position, so as to hold the sealing strip in a slight curve, in any plane, to match the door shape. At the positions in the loop where sharp bends or corners are required, the sealing strip is completely free of the reinforcing members.
