Abstract

A weather strip including a bottom wall, a first lateral wall and a second lateral wall and in which an angle between the bottom wall and the first lateral wall is constant and an angle between the bottom wall and the second lateral wall is partially varied in a longitudinal direction is manufactured. The method includes: a first step of pre-forming the angle of the first lateral wall and the angle of the second lateral wall to be constant and equal to or larger than final maximum angles; a second step of regulating a boundary between the bottom wall and the second lateral wall from moving toward the first lateral wall by a regulating member; a third step of partially varying the angle of the second lateral wall by a movable roller; and a fourth step of forming the angle of the first lateral wall by a fine-movable roller.
