Abstract
A resilient gasket for an over-the-road trailer door has a channel for receiving the edge of a door. The gasket lips on either side of the channel converge outwardly from the bottom of the channel and are shaped to provide tapered cavities for receiving adhesive. The distal edges of the lips are beveled inwardly to retain adhesive through capillarity. A splined rib at the bottom of the channel fits into a groove in the door edge to secure the gasket while the adhesive is applied and grooves in the bottom corners of the channel accommodate door facing overhang as well as provide a flex point for bending the lips when the adhesive is being introduced.
