Abstract

A sun roof assembly and seal therefor comprises a flexible ring shaped member having a base with a groove therein for receiving a continuous rigid bead on the frame of the sun roof and a tubular bulb positioned on the upper wall of the base. When the cover of the sun roof is opened the upper wall of the bulb springs upwardly above the level of the roof in which the sun roof is installed, but when the cover is closed, the upper wall of the bulk is compressed against the base above the rigid bead to seal the sun roof against leakage.
