ABSTRACT:
A extruded weather strip having a trim (2) and a seal lip (4) is provided with a cutout (51,52) having a base side (42) of a length (L) and an edge side (41) of a length (G1, G2) smaller than that of the base side (41). The weather strip is placed in a mold with a portion of the trim (2) corresponding to the cutout (51, 52) bent in the shape of a desired corner, thereby expanding the cutout, and a molding material is injected into the mold to form a corner seal lip (61) in the cutout, integral with the seal lip 4. Therefore, even after storage in an unstressed condition, a crimp which would prevent conformance of the corner seal lip 61 will not be formed.
