A foam masking strip (1) has a generally elongate cross section with rounded ends, a cold-welded seam (3a, 3b) along each curved longitudinal edge, a wid th in the range of from 25 to 35 mm, a thickness in the range of from 5 to 15 m m, and a strip (6) of pressure-sensitive adhesive adjacent one longitudinal edg e; the adhesive strip (6) having a width in the range of from 8 to 12 mm and being located at least 2 mm from the said one longitudinal edge. The strip ( 1) can be used to mask a gap (10) between a movable panel (11) of a vehicle and an adjacent part (12) of the vehicle by: opening the movable panel (11); applying the foam strip (1), by means of the adhesive strip (6), to an edge (14) of the inner surface of either the movable panel (11) or the said adjacent part (12) so that the foam strip (1) projects beyond the edge; and closing the movable panel (11) so that the projecting portion of the foam strip (1) is located in the gap (10) with the longitudinal curved edge of th e foam strip remote from the adhesive (6) directed towards the exterior of the vehicle.
