Abstract
A garnish assembly and method for a vehicle includes a garnish housing having a show surface delineated by an end edge surface for mounting on the vehicle. The garnish assembly further includes a seal extending along an entirety of the end edge surface and a doghouse structure adapted to mount the garnish housing and the seal to the vehicle. The seal is secured along the end edge surface wherein the end-to-end length of the seal matches an end-to-end length of the end edge surface. The doghouse structure is secured to the garnish housing so that attachment to the doghouse structure to the vehicle mounts the seal and the garnish housing to the vehicle.
