  • Publication number: 20040216384
    Abstract: The lower rear corner portion of a weather strip for a front door is comprised by a molded portion. The molded portion has a base portion, a side wall portion extending from the base portion to the outer periphery, and a hollow seal portion integrally formed with the side wall portion. The base portion, which is curved corresponding to a mounting face nearly parallel with an outer circumferential surface of the front door, is attached thereto by clips. The seal portion is formed like a nearly squarish member in such a way as to correspond to the shape of a metal sheet part, whose shape in plan view is nearly squarish, of the lower rear portion of the front door. Inserts are embedded in the side wall portion. Parts corresponding to the inserts are attached to the front door by clips.
