In a primary molding step, a connector housing having a hood portion is molded. In a secondary molding step, an elastic seal ring is molded on an inner side of the hood portion. Through holes are formed in the connector housing in the primary molding step which allow an elastic material to flow therethrough from a seal ring-forming portion on the inner side of the hood portion to an outer side of the hood portion, and which retain part of the seal ring formed at the seal ring-forming portion when the elastic material is cured. An air reservoir portion is formed in a secondary mold, which communicates with outer open ends of the through holes in the connector housing in the secondary molding step.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A method of producing a waterproof connector housing comprising the steps of:molding the connector housing, which has through holes, in a primary mold, said primary mold comprising a first upper mold and a lower mold;forming an air reservoir portion in a secondary mold, said secondary mold comprising a second upper mold and said lower mold, said air reservoir portion being disposed at an interface of said second upper mold and said lower mold, wherein said lower mold has an upper face, said second upper mold has a lower face, and said air reservoir portion is defined by said upper face and said lower face, said air reservoir portion communicating with outer open ends of said through holes in said connector housing to evacuate air from said secondary mold; andmolding, in said secondary mold, a seal ring on the inner side of a hood portion of the housing by allowing an elastic material to flow, along a flow path, through said through holes from a seal ring-forming portion on said inner side of said hood portion to an outer side of said hood portion and at least partially into said air reservoir, said through holes retaining part of said seal ring when said elastic material is cured.
