## Abstract

A sealing member unit may include a fixation portion that has a clip formed at one side thereof to be fixed on a vehicle body; and an elastic change portion of which one side thereof joins the one side of the fixation portion wherein the elastic change portion includes a central portion that is hollow in a length direction of the elastic change portion.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A sealing member unit, comprising:
a fixation portion that has a clip formed at one side thereof to be fixed on a vehicle body; and
an elastic change portion of which one side thereof joins the one side of the fixation portion wherein the elastic change portion includes a central portion that is hollow in a length direction of the elastic change portion.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The sealing member unit of claim 1, wherein the fixation portion further includes a protrusion formed on the other side of the fixation portion to receive a portion of the vehicle body between the clip and the protrusion.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The sealing member unit of claim 1, wherein the elastic change portion includes:
an inner change portion that is formed along an interior circumference of the center portion; and
an outer change portion that is formed along an exterior circumference of the inner change portion with a predetermined thickness and is integrally formed with the fixation portion.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The sealing member unit of claim 3,
wherein the fixation portion is made of an EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) solid rubber material,
wherein the inner change portion of the elastic change portion is made of a EPDM sponge rubber material, and
wherein the outer change portion of the elastic change portion is made of the EPDM solid rubber material.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The sealing member unit of claim 3, wherein a coating layer is formed on the outer change portion that is formed at an opposite side of the fixation portion in the elastic change portion.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The sealing member unit of claim 5, wherein the coating layer is made of flocking.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The sealing member unit of claim 6, wherein the coating layer is made of urethane.

### Claim 8 (depends on 5)
