Abstract

A damping component (30) is disposable between a base component (42) and a panel component (10) attachable thereto. The panel component has an edge flange (12) ending in an edge (14) configured to be disposed adjacent to an opposing surface of the base component. The damping component comprises a body (32) disposable in a space defined between the base component and the panel component when the base component is attached to the panel component. The damping component further comprises a lip (34) extending from the body. The lip is disposable at least partially between the edge of the panel component and the opposing surface of the base component. Further, the lip is configured to prevent the edge of the panel component from directly contacting the base component when the base component is attached to the panel component.
