A waist line or belt line seal (30, Fig.1) for an automotive vehicle door (3), the waistline seal comprising a mounting portion (32, Fig.3b) for mounting the seal to the door and a sealing portion 34 for sealing with the door. The mounting portion comprises a fastener receiving formation 35 configured to receive a fastener (50, Fig.5a) to secure the seal relative to the door. The fastener receiving formation defines a fastening channel 37 extending in a direction generally orthogonal to a vehicular x-axis and transverse to a vehicular y-axis, the fastening channel receiving a shank portion (51) of the fastener extending in a direction generally parallel to the vehicular y-axis. The mounting portion may comprise a main body 32a, and a fastening portion 32b flexibly connected to the main body by a connection portion 32c and tabs 32d. The connection portion may comprise the same material as the sealing portion, where the beltline seal may be manufactured in a 2K or two-shot moulding. The mounting channel allows adjustable fitment of the waistline seal in a substantially vertical direction (vehicular z-axis) parallel to the mounting channel. Also claimed is a vehicle and vehicle door comprising the waistline seal.
