An arrangement (10) for mounting sealing strips (12) on motor vehicles and the like comprises: at least one structural member (16,18) of the vehicle having projecting rivets (34,36) formed integrally from the member along a gap to be sealed; and, a sealing strip (12) pressably affixed to the projecting rivets (34,36) along the gap, obviating the need to provide separate studs or rivets for affixing the sealing strip (12). In a preferred method, at least two structural members (16,18a) of the vehicle are joined to one another by rivets (36) formed integrally from one or both of the members (16,18a) and extending through one of the members (16), along the gap to be sealed. |
