Abstract
A weather strip has a molded section and extruded sections. A seal part of the molded section is connected to an end face of a hollow seal part of the extruded section. Concave cutout portions, which serve as a deformation facilitating portion or a stress absorbing portion, are respectively formed in regions of the seal part, each of which is located in the vicinity of a connection surface between the seal part and a corresponding one of the extruded sections. The molded section is made of TPO instead of a rubber material. Although stress acting in the direction of extension of the weather strip may be applied, the presence of the concave cutout portions limits the concentration of stress on the connection surface.
