The gasket assembly is T-shaped and has an elongated body generally complementary in configuration to the groove, and includes a first elongated elastomeric sealing section adapted to be positioned and compressed between the wider groove section and the member to provide a seal therebetween, and a second elastomeric rigidifying bead, the sealing section and the bead being integrally molded, and a reinforcing wire fast with the rigidifying bead to rigidify the elongated body.
