Abstract
There is provided an automotive weather strip for sealing a gap between an open/close member of a vehicle body opening and a peripheral part of the vehicle body opening, having a trim portion mounted on a flange and a hollow seal portion provided integrally on the trim portion. The trim portion is provided with at least a bottom wall and an exterior side wall. A pressure sensitive adhesive double sided tape is adhered to an interior side surface of the exterior side wall to thereby be bonded to the flange. A caulking sponge is mounted on an inner surface of the bottom wall so as to seal a distal end of the flange. The caulking sponge is formed such that an interior end portion thereof protrudes from the bottom wall more largely than any other portions thereof.
