A vehicle door has inner and outer panel parts ( 5, 6 ) defining the hollow interior ( 16 ) of the door which supports a rigid frame (not shown) for a window glass ( 18 ) which slides into and out of the hollow interior ( 16 ) through a waist gap ( 20 ) formed by the upper marginal edges of the panel parts ( 5, 6 ). Inner and outer waist seals ( 22, 24 ) are mounted on the inner and outer panel parts ( 5, 6 ) for sealing against the window glass ( 18 ) along the waist gap ( 20 ). The outer waist seal ( 24 ) comprises flexible material ( 44 ), preferably extruded, which defines first and second channels ( 46, 48 ) facing in opposite directions. The first channel ( 46 ) embracingly grips the marginal edge of the outer panel part ( 6 ) to support the waist seal ( 24 ) in position. The second channel ( 48 ) embracingly grips interlocking legs of a decorative strip arrangement ( 56 ). The decorative strip arrangement ( 56 ) may comprise two separate parts ( 56 A and 56 B) presenting contrasting decorative appearances. The decorative strip arrangement ( 56 ) can thus be very easily mounted in position, and demounted, simply by clipping it into and unclipping if from the outer channel ( 48 ).
