Abstract
A vehicle assembly includes a windshield having a fore edge and a body panel having an aft edge. The body panel includes an arm portion protruding from the aft edge and a tapered portion disposed at an interface between the aft edge and the arm portion. The arm portion has a distal end. The assembly further includes a sealing member with a first channel and a second channel. The fore edge is disposed in the first channel and the arm portion is disposed in the second channel. The second channel is defined by a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and an endwall. A protrusion extends from the second sidewall into the second channel and abuts the tapered portion. A band of material extends between the first sidewall and the second sidewall. The distal end abuts the band of material to secure the body panel between the band and the protrusion.
