ABSTRACT:
A weather strip includes a body side weather strip and an inner seal attached to opposite ends of a die formed part for use at a door opening edge of a car body. The inner seal has a grip with an embedded metal core for insertion into a body flange. The upper end of the inner seal is formed as a cut end face that connects to die formed part and a gap exists between a roughly triangular base part of the die formed part and at a lip a side surface of the upper end part of the inner seal. When the inner seal attaches to the flange it is curved along the flange and the side end of the base part contacts the inner seal upper end part to close the gap.
