The tubular umbrella seal is coaxially affixed at one end to an exposed end of the control cable; the other end of the tubular umbrella seal coaxially surrounds an end of the tubular housing with coaxial clearance adequate to allow the tubular umbrella seal to move axially with respect to the tubular housing over the entire desired range of axial motion.
