Sealing, trimming or guiding strips

摘要

A sealing, trimming or guiding strip comprises a first section having an extruded portion ( 19 ) which defines a channel for mounting on a vehicle window frame and has extending therefrom a flocked lip ( 53 ). A second section of the strip is provided which also comprises an extruded portion defining a channel for mounting on the frame and which has extending therefrom a flocked lip ( 76 ). The two sections are abutted and selected parts (for example, non-flocked parts) of the respective sections are joined together by a moulding operation which forms a flap ( 20 ) of moulded material extending between the respective sections. The heat from die moulding process activates a heat-activatable material applied to at least one of the flocked lips ( 53 and 70 ) at the surface where the respective lips abut at ( 17 ). The heat generated by the moulding process is sufficient to activate the heat-activatable material but does not damage the flocked material of the lips ( 53 and 76 ).
