Abstract
A weather strip includes a front portion, a rear portion and a transforming portion. A trim portion is attached to a drip channel of a vehicle door assembly, and a connecting web connects the trim portion to a tubular sealing portion. The connecting web has a width which gradually varies according to the part of the vehicle door assembly to which it is attached. The part of the tubular sealing portion attached to the drip channel from the rear roof line to the upper rear pillar of the door assembly is deformed, and a contacting portion thereof is fixed at an outside trim portion.
