Abstract
A seal is provided for a body shell opening of a flap, particularly a tailgate of a motor vehicle. The flap has an exterior flap wall with at least two exterior wall parts, which, on facing circumferential wall areas, each have one edge area angled inwardly, which are mutually connected. The flap has an interior flap wall with at least one interior wall part. The interior wall part is connected at a distance from the angled edge areas of the exterior wall parts with at least one circumferential area of the exterior flap wall and, in the area of the angled edge areas of the exterior wall parts, forms a gap together with the exterior flap wall. Before connecting the exterior flap wall with the interior flap wall, a gap filler piece is moved into a closed position, which, after the connection alone or together with a gap sealant, seals off the gap.
