ABSTRACT:
A seal structure for sealing a gap between a front edge of an engine hood of a slant-nose type motor vehicle and an upper edge of a head lamp thereof. At the upper edge of the head lamp, there is provided a projection having a upwardly and rearwardly inclined front surface and a vertically extending rear surface. A top edge of the projection faces the front edge of the engine hood and is spaced therefrom to define a small gap. A seal member is attached to an upper surface of the head lamp in close contact with the rear surface of the projection. The seal member is composed of a base portion which preferably has an L-shaped cross-section, and a sealing portion extending obliquely rearwardly from an upper end of the base portion. The sealing portion of the seal member seals the small gap between the engine hood and the projection.
