Abstract
A weatherstrip assembly comprising an integral extrusion of polymeric material comprising a stiff L-shaped portion adapted to engage around an edge of the door, a flexible, resilient central strip-like portion, a stiff third strip-like portion extending from the edge of the second portion opposite the first portion, and a strip-like flexible flap portion having an edge joined at the juncture between the second and third portions. The first portion is adhered to a door by pressure-sensitive adhesive, the third portion is positioned in face-to-face contact with the outer surface of the first portion opposite the surface of the door and adjusted in a vertical direction with respect to said door to form the flexible second portion into a tube-like structure having a sufficient diameter to fill a void space between a frame and the edge of the door, and the first and second portions are attached in place by screws. The outer edge of the flap portion will then contact the frame and provide an outer seal in addition to that provided by the tube-like structure.
