Abstract
A seal assembly is provided for sealing a motor vehicle defining an opening having a periphery, and having a flange extending about the periphery. The seal assembly includes a base. The seal assembly also includes spaced apart locking and positioning legs extending out from the base. The positioning and locking legs define a channel therebetween for receiving the flange. A retention portion is fixedly secured to the positioning leg and extends into the channel continuously along the positioning leg to bias the flange against the locking leg such that the seal assembly is locked into engagement over the flange.
