Abstract
A weather strip to be attached to sides of a foldable, detachable, movable roof of a vehicle, the weather strip composed of an extrusion portion and a mold portion. The extrusion portion has a base, a hollow seal, the hollow seal having an upper portion directing toward an outside of a vehicle so as to form a convex portion for contacting an upper portion of a door glass, a bridge portion provided in the hollow seal by halving hollow portion of the hollow seal vertically, the bridge portion being constricted at an inner intermediate portion thereof, a seal lip projecting from a lower portion of the hollow seal for elastically contacting the door glass, the seal lip directing outward of the vehicle. The mold portion has the bridge portion and the seal lip which are the same as those of the extrusion portion. Accordingly, the sealing property and external appearance of the transfer portion and the mold portion can be improved. Further, there are provided engaging portions and having first and second confronted surfaces, wherein the confronted surfaces have non-seal portions on which tapered convex and convex portions are formed, and wherein the tapered convex portion engage with the tapered concave portion. With the arrangement of the present invention, even if there is uneven fitting in the weather strip, such uneven fitting can be sufficiently absorbed, so as to maintain an excellent sealing property and sound insulation property.
