Abstract
A method of using a seal to seal a space between a first structure and a second structure that is movable relative to the first structure, the method includes engaging both the first structure and the second structure with the seal so as to seal the space with the second structure in a first position relative to the first structure, and disengaging the second structure from at least a portion of the seal with the second structure in a second position relative to the first structure so that at least a portion of the space is unsealed, where the second structure swipes across the seal moving between the first position and the second position.
