Abstract
A weather strip is mounted at the peripheral part of a door opening of a door for an automobile. The weather strip includes a sectionally nearly U-shaped trim part and a hollow seal part. A design lip is extended out from the trim part. A decoration layer of a non-woven fabric is formed on the design surface of the weather strip such as the outer surface of the design lip through a resin bonding layer of polyethylene (PE). The non-woven fabric constituting the decoration layer contains fibers subjected to 'crimping processing' and has predetermined elasticity (stretch of 5 mm or more when load of 20 N is applied).
