I think a draught excluder is a door seal--the sort of thing that has a
finished plastic or fuzzy surface that covers the raw metal around the
door opening and has an attached rubber seal that fills the gap between
the door and the body.
The equivalent devices on american cars used to call the "windlace." I
don't recall that personally, of course, because I am much too young. Dad
told me about windlace because mom told him it was time to have a talk
with me and he was embarassed to talk about sex.
