A tailgate assembly for a motor vehicle includes an upper portion (10), pivoted on the vehicle about a first axis of rotation (x'), and a lower portion (20', 20'') pivoted on the vehicle about a second axis of rotation (y, x'') perpendicular or parallel to the first axis (x'). A resilient seal (60) extends transversely to provide a seal between the two portions of the tailgate (10; 20' or 20'') when these are adjacent one another in a closed tailgate position. The seal (60) is fitted movably to the lower portion (20', 20") of the tailgate and has associated control means operable selectively to cause the seal to move between a raised position in which it provides a seal between the two tailgate portions (10; 20' or 20") and a lowered position in which either of the two tailgate portions can be opened independently of the other.
