ABSTRACT:
An assembly is provided for weather-sealing an elongated joint formed between a first member and a second member when said members are disposed at a predetermined relative position. The assembly includes an elongated piece having elongated interconnected first and second sections extending angularly relative to one another. The piece is removably carried by an elongated bracket fixedly secured to a side of one of the members defining the joint. The bracket is provided with an inner wall section, an outer wall section in spaced substantially face-to-face relation with the inner wall section, and a bridge section interconnecting a pair of corresponding elongated edges of the wall sections. The wall and bridge sections coact to form an elongated pocket having a first opening at one end. Corresponding second elongated edge portions of the inner and outer wall sections are disposed in spaced relation and define an elongated second opening having an end terminating at the first opening. The elongated first section is disposed within the bracket pocket and is inserted therein and removed therefrom only upon endwise movement of the first section through the first opening. When the first section is accommodated within the bracket pocket, it is substantially impassable with respect to the bracket second opening. The second section is adapted to span the joint when the members are disposed in the predetermined relative position and is in resilient sealing engagement with the side of the other member defining the joint.
