ABSTRACT:
A weather strip for an automobile has a base portion to be installed along an opening of the automobile for a door, and a hollow sealing portion to be pressed by an outer peripheral edge of the door. One portion of the hollow sealing portion is formed into a molded portion by molding. The molded portion has a slit through which a core for forming the molded portion hollow is drawn out, and a partition wall longitudinally partitioning an inner space of the molded portion and separating the slit in the middle thereof. The partition wall extends straight in the direction inclined with respect to the door pressing direction. According to the weather strip of the present invention, the separated slit is not widely opened at the door pressing time by virtue of the partition wall, and accordingly, uniform flexibility can be obtained over the whole length of the molded portion since the partition wall is inclined with respect to the door pressing direction.
