ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for providing a secure weathertight joint between a pair of coplanar building panels that includes a web passing upwardly through the seam of the joint. A pair of opposed downwardly turned runners depend obliquely from either side of the raised web and along the entire length of the joint. The adjacent ends of the two panels that form the seam are turned upwardly to pass under the runners. An elongated V-shaped spring closure is seated upon the runners with the inside surface of each closure leg being biased against the top surface of one of the runners. A locking pad is secured to the inside wall of each closure leg that snaps over the end of the adjacent runner to secure the parts in assembly.
