Zusammenfassung:DRAINAGE SEAL FOR VEHICLE HAVING REMOVABLE ROOF PANELS A vehicle body (10) including a pair of roof panels (12) for closing associated roof openings (IL) incorporates a pair of drainage seals (16) that direct water from the roof for downward drainage. Each drainage seal (16) includes a one piece resilient seal member (30) having a front seal portion (32), a U-shaped roof seal portion (34) extending around the associated roof opening, and a rear seal portion (36) extending along a rear pillar (26) of the vehicle body. The front seal portion (32) of each seal member includes a flap (38) that defines a drainage passage (40) through which the water flows, preferably in a hidden manner by tucking the flap under a flange (48) on the associated front pillar (22). The rear seal portion (36) of each seal member includes a channel 100 for carrying water directed thereto from the roof seal portion (34) of the seal member. Connector lugs (102,104) provide connections between the different seal portions of the seal member and are located on opposite sides of a roof panel seal that is mounted on the associated roof panel at its outboard edge.
