Abstract
A sealing system can be used between a first vehicle component and a second vehicle component. As an example, the first vehicle component can be a filler panel, and the second vehicle component can be a bumper panel. The first vehicle component and the second vehicle component can be spaced from each other such that a gap is formed between the first vehicle component and the second vehicle component. A seal can be operatively positioned at least partially between the first vehicle component and the second vehicle component to close at least a portion of the gap. The interface seal can be floatingly connected to the first vehicle component. The interface seal can be unconnected to the second vehicle component. The interface seal can be substantially adjacent to the second vehicle component.
