Abstract
A seal arrangement to retain a motor vehicle roof liner about a sunroof aperture of that vehicle's body. The arrangement comprises a hook and fleece coupling (,) secured with respective components of said coupling (,) attached to a roof liner and about the aperture (,) of the body (,). The coupling (,) allows a wider range of acceptable retention geometries for the liner (,) within the aperture (,) whilst avoiding a bespoke component to secure the liner (,) to the body (,). The liner (,) includes a flange edge (,) which preferably extends substantially beyond the aperture (,) in order to provide lateral location of the liner (,) within the aperture (,) and so facilitate motor vehicle assembly.
