ABSTRACT:
An abutment type peripheral seal for sealing the gap between a pivoted member and the boundary of an aperture in a structure, for example between a rumble seat lid and the peripheral boundary of a trunk lid in which it is located. The member is pivotal between a tilted position where it passes through the aperture and projects beyond both sides of the structure and a closed position where it lies in general alignment with the boundary and substantially closes the aperture. The member has an under face along the first part of its periphery and an upper face along a second part of its periphery. The seal is attached to the boundary and has an upwardly facing portion and a downwardly facing portion respectively facing and making a fluid sealing contact with the upper face and under face respectively when the member is in its closed position. The contact made by the upwardly-facing portion serves to retain above its abutment the water which enters the gap between the member and the periphery, and the seal in its downwardly facing portion includes channel means open to said gap and an exit conduit connected to the channel means both for the purpose of draining the channel means.
