Claim 0:
1. An automotive door sealing member that is attached, from outside of a passenger compartment, to a window frame extending so as to define a window opening of an automotive door, and seals a gap between the window frame and window glass,
the automotive door sealing member comprising:
a sealing member body made of an elastic material and having an insertion groove into which a sealing member mounting planar portion is inserted, the sealing member mounting planar portion being formed in an upper frame portion of the window frame and extending toward the outside of the passenger compartment; and
a trim strip member configured to be attached to a side of the sealing member body facing the outside of the passenger compartment, wherein
the trim strip member includes an upper engagement portion and a lower engagement portion at an upper portion and a lower portion of the trim strip member, respectively, and
the side of the sealing member body facing the outside of the passenger compartment includes a portion made of a rigid material that is harder than the elastic material, and is provided with an upper protrusion and a lower protrusion spaced apart from each other in a vertical direction, the upper protrusion and the lower protrusion respectively engaging with the upper engagement portion and the lower engagement portion of the trim strip member,
wherein
the sealing member body includes an upper wall portion extending along an upper surface of the sealing member mounting planar portion, a lower wall portion extending along a lower surface of the sealing member mounting planar portion, and an outer wall portion coupling an end of the upper wall portion closer to the outside of the passenger compartment and an end of the lower wall portion closer to the outside of the passenger compartment,
a core made of a rigid material harder than the elastic material is embedded in the upper wall portion, the lower wall portion and the outer wall portion,
the upper protrusion and the lower protrusion are formed integrally with the elastic material so as to protrude from the elastic material,
the outer wall portion extends downward and below the lower wall portion,
the lower protrusion is provided at a position of the outer wall portion lower than the lower wall portion,
a side of the outer wall portion facing the outside of the passenger compartment and positioned below the lower wall portion is provided with a reinforcing plate made of a rigid material harder than the elastic material,
a lower portion of the reinforcing plate is continuous with a base of the lower protrusion,
the lower protrusion protrudes downward,
a portion of the lower protrusion closer to the outside of the passenger compartment is a rigid portion made of the rigid material,
a portion of the lower protrusion closer to inside of the passenger compartment is a flexible portion made of the elastic material, and
the lower engagement portion of the trim strip member bends toward the inside of the passenger compartment so as to make contact with the flexible portion.
