Abstract: A surface includes a first side defining a wet surface and a second side defining a dry surface. The second side is opposite the first side. The surface has an opening extending between the first side and the second side, and a seal system covering the opening. The seal system includes a flexible seal member insertable through the opening. The flexible seal member engages the wet surface. A tension member is connected to the flexible seal member. The tension member extends through the opening and is configured to apply a tension force to the flexible seal member to engage against the wet surface to close the opening.

Abstract: An exemplary impact beam for a vehicle includes a body defining a longitudinal axis of the impact beam. The body has a first longitudinal surface laterally separated from a second longitudinal surface, a first end including a first extension and a second extension such that the first and second extensions form a “T”-shape with the first and second longitudinal surfaces of the body, and a second end opposite the first end, the second end including a first extended portion and a second extended portion connected to the first extended portion by a connecting surface. The first extended portion is configured to extend into a first crush space defined by a fascia of the vehicle and the second extended portion is configured to extend into a second crush space defined by the fascia of the vehicle.
