<p>A carrier (2) for use in the manufacture of weatherseals is disclosed, the carrier having a serpentine frame (40) and least one elongation reducing member (30) extending along its longitudinal dimension. The elongation reducing member (30) may be secured to the frame in a set down relationship. The elongation reducing member (30) can be a cable joined to the a plurality of limbs (6, 8, 10) in the frame (40) to maintain a maximum spacing between adjacent limbs (6, 8, 10) along the longitudinal dimension. The resulting carrier is prevented from elongating during an extrusion process and thus a resulting product has reduced shrinkage.</p> |
