A sealing or guiding arrangement such as for a window in a vehicle comprises an elongate channel formed by two longitudinally extending components <B>24, 26</B> which are produced simultaneously by injection moulding which also produces a flexible region <B>48</B> extending between and integrally connecting the two components <B>24</B>, <B>26</B>. Each of the components <B>24</B>, <B>26</B> has a cross section corresponding to part of the channel. The flexible region <B>48</B> allows the components <B>24</B>, <B>26</B> to be folded from a configuration during injection moulding in which side walls <B>30</B> of the channel are splayed apart and substantially co-planar to a configuration for use in which the side walls <B>30</B> of the channel are substantially parallel. The cross sectional shape of each component <B>24</B>, <B>26</B> may vary along its length and each component <B>24</B>, <B>26</B> may be bent or curved to define a bend or curve in the sealing or guiding arrangement. At least one of the components <B>24</B>, <B>26</B> may include a formation which may form a lip <B>34</B> along the inside of a wall <B>30</B> of the channel. The shape of the lip <B>34</B> may vary along its length. One of the components <B>24</B>, <B>26</B> may include a formation <B>36</B> on the inside of the base <B>32</B> of the channel. The formations <B>34</B>, <B>36</B> may be softer than the rest of the components <B>24, 26</B>. |
