A seal for sealing the gap between the door frame and edge of the door on a motor vehicle having a waistline such that the angle of approach of the door to the door frame is different above the waistline from the angle of approach below the waistline, thus requiring different sealing characteristics above and below the waistline, said seal being extruded from resiliently deformable plastics or rubber material and comprising a tubular portion, one face of which is for connection to a U-shaped edge trim or other member, and another face portion of which is arranged to be abutted and deformed by the edge of the vehicle door when the latter is closed, the seal being characterized by a deforming portion extending from and connected to said tubular portion, the deforming portion being arranged when the seal is fitted to a flange surrounding said door opening to be deflected into engagement with a part of said tubular portion to deform the latter and change its cross-section, thereby altering its sealing characteristics as desired, the arrangement being such that if the sealing characteristics are not to be altered, i.e. below the waistline, the deforming portion is removed from the seal. The seal is preferably an extruded rubber component which may be attached by gluing to an extruded plastics edge trim or, alternatively, if the edge trim is rubber, the seal may be extruded in one piece with the edge trim.
