Abstract
A sealing strip for attachment to the window frame running around a window opening on a vehicle door is in two parts each made of extruded plastics or rubber material and incorporating metal reinforcements. One part fits over a flange forming part of the window frame and locks into a channel formed in the frame. This part also has a reinforced lip which defines a channel for receiving the window glass. The reinforcement enables this lip to be relatively thin, thus achieving a "flush glass" effect. The other extruded part embraces a flange and has a lip for sealing against the window glass.
