Abstract
A weather strip is attached to the periphery of a plate and a frame. A hollow space is formed in the weather strip. A first groove is formed in the weather strip to engage the plate. A through hole connects the first groove to the hollow space. A drain hole extends downward from the hollow space. Water sometimes enters the first groove, and the through hole and the drain hole drain this water. The arrangement of the various parts facilitates extrusion and simplifies the manufacturing process.
