Abstract
Two pieces of weatherstripping are spliced together by cutting a defined amount of a sealing element from a first piece of weatherstripping leaving an exposed backing, then overlapping a second piece of weatherstripping over the exposed portion of backing of the first piece of weatherstripping, and then ultrasonically welding the backing of the first piece of weatherstripping to the backing of the second piece of weatherstripping.
