ABSTRACT:
A weather strip for use with a center pillar of a motor vehicle, particularly with a center pillar having a width gradually increasing in a downward direction. The weather strip includes an extruded first tubular weather strip to be attached along a front edge of the center pillar, an extruded second tubular weather strip to be attached along a rear edge of the center pillar, and a pillar molding, interposed between these two weather strips, which has a width that gradually increases in a downward direction. A method for manufacturing the above-described weather strip includes the steps of placing first and second weather strips in a mold such that the space therebetween gradually increases downwardly and upper ends thereof face a roof side weather strip to be attached along an edge of a roof of the motor vehicle, and a rubber material is injected into the mold to join the upper ends of the first and second weather strips to the roof side weather strip. Then, by injecting a rubber material, lower ends of the first and second weather strips are joined, and by injecting a rubber material or a synthetic resin material, a pillar molding is formed that is integrally joined to the first and second weather strips.
