A belt weatherstrip adapted to engage an end flange of a vehicle for operative sealing between a glass window and a vehicle surface. The flange of the vehicle has an inner surface and an outer surface. The belt weatherstrip is expandable to accommodate adaptability to various vehicle surface contours by allowing expandability of the width of the weatherstrip. The belt weatherstrip includes an elongated core substrate which has an inner flange portion for abutting the inner surface of the flange and includes an outer flange portion and intermediate portion connecting the inner flange portion with the outer flange portion and a plurality of clips for securing the elongated core substrate to the end flange. An elastomeric sealing lip member is attached to the flange portion for allowing slideable sealing engagement between the flange and a glass pane. The intermediate portion includes a bend therein in its normal position wherein the bend may be selectively straightened to expand the width of the weatherstrip for accommodating varying final applications in a vehicle. A glass run weatherstrip having a bend in its intermediate leg is also provided for traversing corners of a door window aperture.
