  • Bend flaps for trim panel mounted watershields
    Patent number: 7240956
    Abstract: A vehicle moisture barrier comprises a formed barrier film and one or more bend flaps. The bend flaps may be bent along a bend axis formed by a deformation created at a junction line between the bend flap and the barrier film. The distal or free end of the bend flap contacts a trim panel to provide a stiffening force proximate to a raised rib extending from the opposite side of the barrier to promote sealing of the raised rib when a drawn form opposite to the raised rib is not provided to promote such sealing.
