A sealing strip for fitting to a substantially vertically mounted flange, such as running around the luggage boot opening of a motor vehicle body, has a channel-shaped gripping section (12) for embracingly gripping the flange, and a softer sealing section (6). The latter is fixed obliquely to the gripping section (5). At corners or bends in the mounting flange, the sealing section (6) tends to "bridge across" the corner into the dotted position (6A). An effective seal at these corners may therefore be lost. In order to prevent this, the sealing strip is positioned on a jig corresponding to the flange or at least each of the corners therein. By means of a vertically movable flat plate, the bridged-over sealing section (6A) at such corner is pressed back into the correct orientation and held there temporarily while a foaming agent is injected into its hollow interior. Once solidified, the foaming agent holds the sealing section in the correct attitude even when the plate is removed but has sufficient flexibility so as not to impair the sealing function of the sealing section. |
