door seals

Draft-blocking edge strips

Door seals are strips of material—rubber, foam, or weatherstripping—fitted around the edges of doors to block drafts, moisture, noise, or light.

On vehicles, door seals prevent water and road noise from entering the cabin.

On refrigerators and ovens, they maintain temperature.

The door seals on the old car had cracked and needed replacing.
