An oven appliance includes a cabinet defining a cooking chamber to receive items to be cooked, a cooktop situated above the cooking chamber, and a door. A user interface panel is situated above the door and in front of the cooktop. A gasket occupies the space between the user interface panel and the cooktop, wherein the gasket includes several protrusions on its ends and central body that serve as both locators for consistently orienting the gasket with respect to the user interface panel during assembly and connectors for securing the gasket to the user interface panel.
