Abstract

Abstract A seal and trimming gasket (20) is proposed having a substantially ω-shaped section, formed from a fixing web (21) and two wings (23, 24) which are substantially of C-shaped section and are connected to the sides of the web (21). The free lips of the two wings (23, 24) are partly superposed so that on closing the door (10), the projecting lip of the first wing (23) is lowered and is retained directly by the door edge (12) and also by the projecting lip of the second wing (24), this lip also being bent by the door edge (12).
