Abstract
A sealing strip, such as for a motor vehicle body, comprises a base having wings which are integrally attached to a central portion by means of thinned-down regions permitting relative flexure. The wings and the central portion are preferably made of relatively hard plastics or rubber material. A tubular sealing section, of sponge or similar material, is integrally attached to the central portion. The wings carry layers of adhesive preferably covered with tear-off covering. The strip is fixed in position by placing the underside of the central portion over the distal edge of the door flange and then bending down the wings so as to press the adhesive into contact with the sides of the flange.
