Abstract
A sealing system and method for a mirror assembly of a vehicle is provided. The mirror assembly includes a wire harness assembly in which at least a first wire harness and a second wire harness are coupled together. The first wire harness is protected within a rigid encasing but for an exposed portion. The exposed portion permits freer movement of the internal pins in that area, which promotes a better fit with the adjacent second wire harness. In one example, a foam sheath can used to cover a portion of the wire harness assembly, which is then routed through a gasket. This arrangement is configured to prevent air leaks that might otherwise occur due to gapping between the first wire harness and the second wire harness.
