a weather strip is adhered to a vehicle by a double sided adhesive tape . the weather strip seals between the vehicle body and a door when the door is closed . the weather strip includes a first section extruded from a rubber material , which is vulcanized at a vulcanizing temperature . the weather strip also includes a second section molded from a thermoplastic elastomer at a temperature lower than the vulcanizing temperature . the adhesive tape is applied to the weather strip to span the first section and the second section . this permits a single piece of tape to be continuously applied to the weather strip , which is more efficient .
