Abstract
A weatherseal includes a T-shaped base having a first edge, a second opposing edge, and an intermediate portion between the first edge and the second opposing edge. A substantially continuous projection is secured to and projects from at least one of the first edge and the second opposing edge. A sealing element extends from the intermediate portion. Methods for manufacturing the weatherseal include extruding a substantially continuous projection onto at least one of the first edge and the second opposing edge. The weatherseal may be inserted into a frame member defining a substantially T-shaped slot. Methods for inserting the weatherseal include inserting the first edge into the T-shaped slot at an angle through a throat opening, and forcing the second opposing edge into the T-shaped slot through the throat opening.
