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.

In a vehicle door seal structure in which an outer side weather strip whose tip end portion extends upward from a molding side base end portion toward a door window glass is formed integrally with a molding portion provided on a vehicle outer side of a belt line portion, at least an outer side weather strip positioned at the uppermost portion is configured such that a first hollow portion is formed from the base end portion to the tip end portion and a second hollow portion is formed below the first hollow portion at the base end portion.

A seal structure is applied to a vehicle including a vehicle body that includes a roof opening, and a movable panel and a fixed panel that close the roof opening. The seal structure includes a flange extending along an opening edge of the roof opening, and a weather strip that includes a holding groove into which the flange is inserted, and blocks a gap generated between the vehicle body, and the movable panel and the fixed panel. A tip of the flange includes a plurality of notches with respect to an extending direction of the flange. The weather strip includes an inner wall and an outer wall facing each other across the holding groove, and a connection wall that connects the inner wall and the outer wall in a position corresponding to the notch.

A sealing plug profile for fitting to an arrangement for a vehicle roof has a sealing element and a baseboard which is coupled to the sealing element and which extends along a longitudinal axis (LF). The baseboard may have a first base hollow space and a second base hollow space and a central web which separates the first and the second base hollow space from each other in a predetermined manner so that the first and the second base hollow space form two mutually separate hollow spaces within the baseboard, which are each delimited in a predetermined manner along the longitudinal axis (LF) by the central web and an edge of the baseboard.

A method of manufacturing a material strand (100), particularly for sealing, trimming or fastening of doors (11) or windows (12) of a motor vehicle (10), comprises the steps of: a) extrusion of an extruded strand (200); b) testing the extruded strand (200) after the extrusion, thereby identifying first segments (210) comprising manufacturing defects (211) and second segments (220) being free from manufacturing detects; c) cutting out the first segments (210) from the extruded strand (200), thereby causing faces (222) at the second segments (220); d) joining cut faces (222) of second segments (220) to obtain a joint (102) and to form a material strand (100), the joint (102) having a position within the material strand (100), wherein a minimum distance (d) is maintained between the positions of adjacent joints (102); e) identifying the position of each joint (102); and f) forming a transport unit (110) having a predetermined maximum length by winding the material strand (100).
