ABSTRACT:
A weather strip for use between a closure panel and the body of a vehicle includes a foundation bulb extending about the periphery of an opening in the body and a contactor bulb supported entirely by the foundation bulb and having a compliance which is less than the compliance of the foundation bulb such that the configuration of the contactor bulb remains relatively invariant as sidewalls of the foundation bulb deform in response to a compressive load imposed by the closure panel and the body opening panel.
