ABSTRACT:
A weather strip for a sashless door for automotive vehicles comprises an extrusiion molded member retained by a roof rail and pillars of the vehicular body, having a pair of seal lip portions, the first lip thereof including a sub-concavity on its inner surface to maximize sealing performance, through which the extrusion molded member mates with the edge and the inner perimeter surface of the window in a water tight fashion, and end members provided on the outer side panel of the vehicular body at the lower ends of the extrusion molded member. An opening is provided on the end member for allowing water between the extrusion molded member and the door glass to flow along the extrusion molded member toward the end member, and into a fluid passage connected to the opening for exhausting the water outside of the vehicular cabin.
Thus, the water between the extrusion molded member and the door glass is smoothly drained through the fluid passage outside of the vehicular cabin, thereby preventing water from dripping into the vehicular cabin.
A cut-out is further provided in the second of the seal lips at the point where the extrusion molded member abuts another member allows for placement of a die molded insert to increase the rigidity of the extrusion molded member at the point of contact.
