A device for applying an adhesive-backed elongated seal (e.g., a weatherstrip seal) to a surface of a substrate. The device comprises a release liner removal tool having a stripper portion. The stripper portion comprises a spacer and a release liner guide surface. The spacer has a leading edge, an angled trailing edge, a central axis and a thickness profile that separates the adhesive on the back of the seal from the substrate surface while allowing the body of the seal to contact the substrate surface, when the stripper portion is positioned between the seal and the surface. The angled trailing edge has a transverse radius of curvature allowing the release liner to be removed from the adhesive, bent-backwards-over the trailing edge, and pulled-off along a portion of the guide surface, while the seal is adhered along its length to the surface.

The application discloses a mounting structure for a waterproof rubber strip of a vehicle cover includes a vehicle cover and an edge rubber strip. A flat adhesive surface is provided on the edge rubber strip. The edge rubber strip is sealingly adhered and fixed with the vehicle cover through the flat adhesive surface. The mounting structure further includes a first joint. The edge rubber strip is provided with an L-shaped engaging portion. The first joint is fixedly mounted on the vehicle cover. An end of the engaging portion is embedded in the first joint, and the engaging portion is located between the first joint and the vehicle cover. The disclosure presents the following advantages that: the edge rubber strip includes the flat adhesive surface therewith, and is sealingly adhered to the vehicle cover through the flat adhesive surface, so that water does not leak from a slit between the edge rubber strip and the vehicle cover. In addition, the edge rubber strip is provided with the L-shaped engaging portion, and the first joint cooperates with the vehicle cover to clamp the engaging portion, so that the edge rubber strip is sealed and fixed on the vehicle cover, with a stable structure and a good sealing performance.
