ABSTRACT:
Standard weather stripping composed of a backing strip and a pile body projecting from one face of the backing strip is guided into a channel having a pair of spaced apart side walls and a bottom wall. Also guided into that channel and positioned against the side of the pile body is an impervious resilient film barrier which extends from the top of the pile body down to the base thereof and across the adjacent side edge margin of the backing strip. The channel side walls are clinched against the bottom wall thereby capturing the weather stripping between those walls and bending the film barrier adjacent the base of the pile body so that the resiliency of the barrier tends to bias the portion of the barrier projecting out of the channel against the pile body so that it remains in an erect position and prevents moisture and drafts from penetrating into the pile body.
