A channel-shaped sealing strip for vehicle door openings, for example, is shown. It has a gripping section incorporating a metal carrier covered in flexible covering material which additionally defines longitudinally extending gripping lips. The sealing strip is formed into a loop, ring or frame to suit a particular vehicle door opening. Along those lengths of the loop intended to be fitted to the portions of the door opening between the latter's sharp bends or corners, the gripping section is provided with additional reinforcing members which seat in the base of the channel. The reinforcing members are made of stiff metal but which can be bent slightly, when the sealing strip is fitted into position, so as to hold the sealing strip in a slight curve, in any plane, to match the door shape. At the positions in the loop where sharp bends or corners are required, the sealing strip is completely free of the reinforcing members. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A channel-shaped trimming or sealing strip which is shaped so that the side walls of the channel-shape embrace a mounting flange for the strip and which is in the form of a channel-shaped flexible metal carrier covered with flexible covering material defining gripping lips running longitudinally along the inside of the channel on the opposite inside walls thereof so as to grip the said flange, the strip being in combination with a separate, relatively straight, reinforcing member which is fitted within the channel and which is stiff but sufficiently long and pliable to enable it to be bent slightly, with the strip, to hold the strip in a slight curve.
2.
A strip according to claim 1, in which the reinforcing member is positioned in the base of the channel between the base of the channel and the gripping lips.
3.
A strip according to claim 1, in which the reinforcing member is in the form of a shallow channel.
4.
A strip according to claim 1, in which the carrier is of a form comprising U-shaped elements arranged side-by-side to define a channel and linked together in a manner which enables the carrier to be compressed lengthwise to a slight extent.
5.
A channel-shaped trimming or sealing strip, in the form of a loop which is pre-formed to suit a particular vehicle body opening, comprising channel-shaped flexible material shaped and sized so that the side walls of the channel embrace a mounting flange on which the strip is to be mounted and which extends around so as to define the vehicle body opening, the flexible material defining gripping lips running longitudinally along the inside of the channel on the opposite inside walls thereof so as to grip the mounting flange, a flexible metal carrier which is completely embedded within the said channel-shaped material, a plurality of lengths of reinforcing member respectively positioned within the channel in parts of the length of the strip between the positions where sharp bends or corners are required in the loop, the lengths of reinforcing member being stiff but sufficiently long and pliable to enable them to be bent slightly, with the strip, to hold the said parts of the strip in a slight curve, the strip being completely free of said reinforcing member at each of the sharp bends or corners
