A sealing strip for sealing between a flange (22) defining a door opening, such as in a motor vehicle body, and the door (24) of the opening, comprises a channel-shaped gripping part (12) for gripping the flange (22) and supporting a hollow tubular sealing part (14), preferably made of sponge rubber. The latter is partially compressed between the flange (22) and the closing door (24) so as to provide a barrier seal against ingress of moisture and draught. In order to provide improved blocking of acoustic energy, so as to reduce the amount of exterior noise (road noise, aerodynamic noise) transmitted into the interior of the vehicle, the sealing part (14) also carries an acoustic screen (30) which is made of material having increased acoustic energy attenuating properties as compared with the sponge rubber of the sealing part (14). The acoustic screen (30) carries notches (32) to increase its flexibility, and is positioned substantially clear of the door (24) and the bodywork (23) adjacent the frame, so as to minimise any increased effort required for closing the door and to maximise its acoustic energy blocking action. <IMAGE> |
