  • Seal arrangement for the gap between a rigid sliding cover and a fixed roof area of a motor vehicle surrounding the same
    Patent number: 4667966
    Abstract: In order to be able to cover a large tolerance range with a sliding cover for a motor vehicle, which is sealed by way of a circumferential hollow chamber seal, the hollow chamber seal is provided with a bead which is supported only locally at the end face of a rail retaining the hollow chamber seal under a roof area. During the occurrence of excessively large, oversize tolerances, the hollow chamber seal can then enter into interstices formed between local raised portions of the end face when the deformation capability of the hollow chamber is exhausted.
