A seal includes a base portion, a first retaining member extending from the base portion, and a second retaining member extending from the base portion. Each of the first and second retaining members is structured to be resiliently deflectable with respect to the base portion. A portion of the first retaining member extends opposite the base portion so as to define a first cavity therebetween. A portion of the second retaining member extends opposite the base portion so as to define a second cavity therebetween. The first cavity has an open side opening in a first direction toward the second cavity, and the second cavity has an open side opening in a second direction toward the first cavity.

A sealing assembly for a door of a vehicle includes a housing provided on the door, a sealing slider retractably mounted in the housing, a drawing-out device for urging the sealing slider away from the housing, an inserting device for urging the sealing slider into the housing, and a weather strip for air-tight sealing with the sealing slider when the door is closed, where the drawing-out device includes an operating lever rotatably installed on the housing to push an end portion of the sealing slider away from the housing and a support to rotate the operating lever in response to closing of the door, where the sealing slider is slidably movable between a first door and a second door.

A first moulding element is arranged on a vertical edge of a door leaf, and at least one second moulding element is arranged on a vertical strut of a door frame, wherein the first moulding element and the second moulding element intermesh automatically only in the closed position of the door leaf in such a manner that a direct or indirect form fit is automatically produced between the first moulding element and the second moulding element, as seen in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the door leaf, but such a form fit is automatically removed in a position of the door leaf differing from the closed position.

A sealing structure includes a sliding door, a touch sensor, an inner seal, a drip seal, a buffer, and a projection. The inner seal couples to a door opening. The drip seal extends in a front and rear direction of an automobile body, is above the door opening, and is closer to an upper part of the automobile body than the inner seal. The drip seal and the inner seal make elastic contact with the sliding door. The buffer extends in an upper and lower direction of the automobile body and protrudes outwardly. The buffer is provided on a part of a body panel, which is closer to a front part of the automobile body than the door opening, and faces and is close to a flange when the sliding door is in a closed position. The projection extends from the touch sensor and makes elastic contact with the buffer.

To reduce splash of water that has entered a gap between an upper end of a door and a vehicle body onto a locked portion. A part of a vertical side sealing portion 4 from a part including a water inlet 71 to at least a part above a hollow portion R3 is a die-molded portion. In the die-molded portion, a core removing hole 79 for removing a core used in molding is open at a cabin outer side relative to an attachment plate 80. A guide portion 90 for guiding water that has entered from the water inlet 71 to a cabin inner side relative to the core removing hole 79 is provided above the core removing hole 79 on the inner surface of the hollow portion R3.

A door seal and sensor assembly for a motor vehicle is disclosed. The assembly includes sealing members that can create seals between vehicle doors and the body of a vehicle. The assembly further includes pressure sensitive components that can detect pinching between vehicle doors and the body of the vehicle. The pressure sensitive components can be retained within retaining portions of lateral sealing members. Relatively rigid connecting members are used to connect the ends of the pressure sensitive components to corresponding wire harnesses. In vehicles that use a dual sliding door assembly, the assembly can be mounted around the entire periphery of an opening in the vehicle body.
