A SEALING STRIP AND METHOD OF SEALING

摘要

The sealing strip comprises an elongate sealing portion (7) formed of resiliently compressible material such as foam and an elongate attachment portion (8) extending laterally from the sealing portion (7). The attachment portion is provided with adhesive (2) to affix it to the rear side of a first body panel (9) so that the sealing portion (7) is located in a gap between the panel (9) and an adjacent component (10) so as to seal or mask the gap therebetween. The sealing portion and attachment portion are preferably integrally formed by an extrusion process. The sealing strip has particular application to the sealing of the "B" post gap of a motor vehicle.
