The intercompartment sealing member is fit onto a receiving member provided in the first compartment. Lip section, extending from the tubular section toward the panel in a spread-out form, is bendable (reversible) with respect to the panel. The lip section has operating convexities provided on its panel-facing surface. Manipulation of the operating convexities can invert the lip section, initially bent away from the panel, to contact the panel. The stopper portions function to limit a bent amount through which the lip section can be bent away from the panel (in the reverse direction).
