A vehicle door window weatherstrip is mountable in a vehicle having a frame surrounding at least a portion of an upwardly and dowwardly movable window. The weatherstrip is formed of a one-piece body having a frame mounting portion engageable with the vehicle frame, a movable lip integral with the frame mounting portion and normally extending outward from the frame beyond the exterior of the vehicle window, and a deformable portion integral with the lip and deformable upward upon engagement with the top edge of an upwardly movable window. During such deformation of the deformable portion of the weatherstrip body, the lip moves from the normal outwardly extending position which defines a water channel with the adjacent portion of the vehicle frame when the deformable portion is in a normal un-deformed condition to a downward extending position in substantial registry with the exterior surface of the window. In one embodiment, a hollow channel is formed in the deformable portion of the weatherstrip body. In another embodiment, the deformable portion comprises a solid portion having a window engaging surface formed on one side and a frame engaging surface formed on the other side which is spaced from the vehicle frame in a normal, un-deformed condition. A planar reinforcement strip may be disposed within the lip of the weatherstrip body to provide rigidity to the lip when the lip is in the extended, rain channel forming position.
