<p>A vehicle component (10, Figure 3) for attachment to a vehicle panel (26, Figure 3). the vehicle component (10) comprising a seal seat (22, Figure 1) defining a sealing plane and being adapted to be engaged by a seal (56, Figure 2) to be compressed between the vehicle component (10) and the vehicle panel(26). The vehicle component (10) further comprising a clamp which defines a fixing axis 16b at an angle, preferably substantially a right angle, to the sealing plane. The clamp comprising first 32 and second 34 clamping parts each having a respective clamping surface 36, 38 for clamping the vehicle panel (26) therebetween when the clamping parts are urged towards each other along the fixing axis 16b, wherein the clamping surfaces extend non-perpendicularly to the fixing axis. Preferably the first 32 and second 34 clamping parts are formed separately of the vehicle component (10). The clamp is also claimed as being formed separately of the vehicle component (10).</p> |
