A weatherstrip seal comprises a carrier structure without embedded reinforcement that has an attached weather-sealing structure extending therefrom. The carrier structure has two spaced-apart legs connected by a base, the interior walls of the legs forming a channel therebetween. Finger-like members extending from the walls are adapted to frictionally engage and hold a mounting flange inserted into the channel. The legs decrease in thickness as they proceed outwardly from the base and their walls converge inwardly toward each other, minimizing the material required for fabrication of the carrier and enhancing its ability to withstand forces acting to dislodge the mounting flange from the channel, especially at corners thereof.

A weatherstrip profile, comprising; a carrier structure having two legs with opposing walls defining a channel therebetween and being connected by a base, said walls having a plurality of inwardly extending fingers each having a root portion and a tip portion, said root portions being attached to said walls and said tip portions being attached to said root portions, said fingers being adapted to grip a profile-mounting flange positioned in said channel, a weather-sealing structure having a sealing surface, said weather-sealing structure extending from said carrier structure and being attached thereto, said carrier legs decreasing in thickness as they proceed outwardly from said base, said walls converging towards each other as they proceed from said base at a convergent angle of from about 5°-60°, and said legs, base, and root portions having a Shore A durometer hardness of about 70-100.
