ABSTRACT:
A method of making a weatherstripping product for attachment on an automotive vehicle or for other weatherstripping applications, said method comprising the steps of: forming a support member of a predetermined configuration, extruding an elastomeric weatherstrip, treating a surface of the elastomeric weatherstrip with an abundance of ultraviolet radiation from a UV source to thereby provide a UV treated surface on the weatherstrip, applying a low friction surface coating to the UV treated surface on the weatherstrip to provide a coated elastomeric weatherstrip, mounting the coated elastomeric weatherstrip on said support member, to thereby provide a weatherstripping product with markedly improved anti-squeak and ice release characteristics; and the weatherstripping product prepared from this material.
