ABSTRACT:
A vehicle top having removable panel sections wherein the panels include a resilient seal which is compressed by an overlapping flap to form a water-resistant seal between the panel and flap to protect the panel zippers. The seal further includes a concave portion which channels the outside elements away from the zippers. In this manner, the sealing arrangement helps to prevent seepage of water and other elements through the zipper into the interior of the vehicle.
