A sealing, trimming or finishing strip for fitting to the flange (16) around the edge of a door or similar opening in a motor vehicle body has a channel-shaped gripping portion (10) supporting a tubular sealing portion (12) on the outside of the door opening and onto which the door sealingly closes. On the inside of the door opening, a cosmetic lip (14) integrally extends and is curved-over to form a concave surface (34) for embracingly receiving and gripping the edge of a trim panel (34). A cloth or textile covering (40) extends over the outside surface (36) of the cosmetic lip (14), around its distal edge and over the whole of the concave surface (34) of the lip to terminate at a point (40B) on the outside side wall of the gripping portion (10). Because the textile covering (40) extends over the whole of the concave surface (34) of the cosmetic lip (14), as well as over the convex surface (36) thereof, instead of only partially over the concave surface (34), any tendency for the cosmetic lip to straighten under the effect of enhanced temperature on the textile covering (40) is substantially avoided. <IMAGE> |
