Weather strip

Abstract

A weather strip has a molded section and extruded sections. A seal part of the molded section is provided by being connected to an end face of a hollow seal part of the extruded section. Concave cutout portions as a deformation facilitating portion or a stress absorbing portion are respectively formed in regions of the seal part, each of which is located in the vicinity of a connection surface between the seal part and a corresponding one of the extruded sections. The molded section is made of TPO instead of a rubber material. Although stress acting in the direction of extension of the weather strip may be applied thereto, the presence of the concave cutout portions suppresses an occurrence of a situation in which the deformation of the weather strip is relatively liable to occur and in which the stress applied in the direction of extension thereof is concentrated on the connection surface.
