  • Patent number: 4123100
    Abstract: The arrangement shown and described herein is used to seal a closure structure of a vehicle body. A weatherstrip including metal strip inserts is molded in the usual manner and is then crimped into its operational "U" shape around an extruded tubular rubber member located at the bottom of the U-shape, the tubular member substantially filling the space heretofore selectively filled with a bead of butyl mastic sealant. Once the thus formed weatherstrip is installed on a body closure flange or ledge, the edge of the flange or ledge flattens out the tubular member such that the latter effectively and uniformly seals off the inside of the flange or ledge from the outside thereof.
