Abstract
A sealing or trimming strip has a gripping section and a sealing section and is formed into an open or a closed ring for mounting on a flange running around an opening in a vehicle body. The resilient plastics or rubber material of the gripping section is formed to provide a hollow tube in to which an insert of hardened metal wire may be placed. The wire, which may extend completely around the ring or which may be in the form of separate end-shaped lengths, stiffens the strip and enables it to hold a desired `set` or shape, but does not prevent the strip from being compressed longitudinally to the extent which may be permitted by any reinforcing metal carrier (if provided).
