Weatherstrip for vehicle closures and method for its manufacture

摘要

The subject of the invention is a weather strip for framing a motor vehicle bodywork opening, this strip comprising a reinforced section (1) forming a grip with a U-shaped cross-section made from a thermoplastic material, and a tubular sealing element (2) made from an elastically deformable material which adheres laterally to the external surface of the section with a U-shaped cross-section (1). In accordance with the invention, along at least part of its length, corresponding to the position of a corner of the opening frame to be equipped, the tubular element (2) has a length which is greater than that of the corresponding part of the section (1), the portion of the tubular element (2) of length greater than that of the corresponding part of the section (1) being laterally offset with respect to the latter.
