An improved construction for an automotive vehicle door provides an upstanding peripherally extending mounting flange formed integrally with the outer panel of the door for carrying a resilient seal for sealing engagement with the vehicle body when the door is in a closed position.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention is directed at realizing the advantages of mounting a weatherseal on an automotive door through an advantageous door construction permitting the simple installation of a weatherseal on the door without the use of other assembly materials.
The new door construction provides an upstanding flange at the outer periphery of the door for receiving a weatherseal insertable over the flange.
In a preferred door construction, the door is formed of inner and outer panels joined to one another at their outer peripheries by a hem flange in which the outer panel clinchingly engages the outer periphery of the inner panel.
An upstanding flange for mounting the weatherseal may be integrally manufactured with the outer panel by successive strikes in the stamping process which form the upstanding flange at the terminus of the outer body panel portion used to form the hem flange.
