Abstract

A channel-shaped sealing strip comprises a channel-shaped metal core or carrier completely embedded in flexible plastics or rubber material which additionally defines gripping lips on the two opposite inside wall surfaces of the channel and running longitudinally along the strip. There are four relatively small such lips on one inside wall surface which are substantially equidistantly spaced from each other and the first or outermost one of which runs along the distal edge of its wall surface adjacent the mouth of the channel. There are two relatively larger such lips on the opposite inside wall surface. A soft rubber seal may be attached to the outside surface of the strip. The arrangement of the lips stabilises the strip against rocking or wobbling on a flange (e.g. a motor vehicle body flange around a door opening on which the strip may be mounted in use).
