Abstract:
A load-bearing slat for an article carrier having a spacer insert disposed between the load-bearing wall of the slat and the insulator for added support. The spacer is pre-attachable to the insulator to facilitate final assembly. The insulator includes spaced openings for receiving the insert which is locked into place whether by a snap fit or through rotation of the insert. The spacers have throughbores to permit the fasteners for the slat to pass through to the vehicle surface for attachment thereto.

Abstract:
A seal adapted to extend along an interface between a vehicle hood and cowl. A profile has a base layer seating upon a flattened lip edge of the cowl, the base layer being supported upon the cowl lip edge from a rear edge to an intermediate underside stepped protrusion. The base layer further exhibits having a forward bottom projecting portion. A first upwardly/rearwardly and substantially linear angled blade extends from a first location of the base layer, with a second upwardly/forwardly and arcuately shaped blade extending from a second forward spaced location of the base layer, such that said blades project relative to underside opposing locations of the hood in contacting fashion and in order to both prevent admittance of engine exhaust into an adjoining passenger compartment and to provide optimum resistance to sound transfer.
