ABSTRACT:
A sealing arrangement for an automotive body closure such as a sliding roof comprises a sealing member including a tubular sealing portion and a shorter reservoir portion. The two portions are filled with hydraulic fluid and communicate with one another. When the closure member is closed, the sealing portion is not under pressure and offers little resistance to the movement of the closure member. After closing, an actuator such as a crank is retracted and in so doing acts through a rack and pinion on an actuating device which compresses the reservoir portion and thus pressurizes the sealing member to improve the sealing of the joint.
