Abstract

A channel-shaped guiding, sealing or finishing strip, such as for use in vehicle bodies for sealing door flanges or windows, comprises a channel-shaped metal carrier covered with plastics or rubber material. The metal carrier is made up of a series of side-by-side generally U-shaped elements which are interconnected by short connecting links. The connecting links are each kinked or corrguated so as to enable the sealing strip to be stretched or compressed slightly.
