Automotive weatherstripping, also known as weatherstrips, weather seals, or just seals, seals the inside of your vehicle and protects it from many outside elements, like rain, snow, dirt, wind, and other debris. They are made of a rubber material and usually spread along the edges of your vehicle’s doors, windows, windshield, trunk, hood, and body to close any gaps. They can be held in place by weatherstrip adhesive, clips, glue, screws, and pressure.

There are many kinds of weatherstripping, and that’s because all kinds of makes and models have rolled off the assembly lines over time. Usually, a car or truck will have door, window, windshield, roof, trunk/rear hatch/tailgate, and some type of body weatherstripping.
