ABSTRACT:
A weather strip to be attached to sides of a foldable, detachable, movable roof of a vehicle, the weather strip composed of an extrusion portion and a mold portion. The extrusion portion has a base, a hollow seal, the hollow seal having an upper portion directing toward an outside of a vehicle so as to form a convex portion for contacting an upper portion of a door glass, a bridge portion provided in the hollow seal by halving hollow portion of the hollow seal vertically, the bridge portion being constricted at an inner intermediate portion thereof, and a seal lip projecting from a lower portion of the hollow seal for elastically contacting the door glass, the seal lip directing outward of the vehicle. The mold portion has the bridge portion and the seal lip which are the same as those of the extrusion portion. Accordingly, the sealing property and external appearance of the transfer portion and the mold portion can be improved. Further, one of the mold portions is detachable or movable and is guided in a detachable direction or moving direction. The mold portions have engaging portions which are engaged with and complement each other at contacting end surfaces thereof when mounted on another mold portions, and wherein the engaging portions have saw-toothed convex and concave portions so as to maintain an effective sealing repulsive force.
