Dear Mr. Nishiki: This is in reply to your letter of May 24, 1973, concerning th application of Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 302, 'Flammability of Interior Materials'. We apologize for the delay in answering your letter, but we did not receive your letter of the above date and the copy we later received does not include the diagram that was apparently attached to your original letter.; You ask whether the weather strip assembly 'used for the sealin between the car body and the door panel' must meet the requirements of the standard. We are unable to answer this question without additional information regarding the placement of the weather strip assembly and its attachment, if any, to the door panel. If you would provide us with this information, we will try to give you a prompt reply.; Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel
