A resilient sealing member for use about the marginal edge of a glazing panel mounted in a solar energy collector. The sealing member is cup-shaped for receiving the marginal edge portion of the panel and is formed with a sealing lip bearing against the outboard surface of the glazing panel to provide a fluid tight, pressure seal adjacent the entire periphery thereof. The sealing member is advantageously used in combination with a retainer assembly having a retainer cap that exerts pressure on the sealing member to urge the lip into uniform, pressure sealing contact with such outboard surface.

A sealing member comprising: an elongated elastic body of generally U-shaped configuration in cross section and formed of resiliently yieldable material; said body having a side wall and a pair of walls in spaced, parallel relation formed integral with said side wall for slip fitted engagement over the marginal edge of a glazing panel; said spaced walls terminating in generally flat edges; one of said spaced walls having a sealing lip formed integral therewith adjacent the associated edge and extending toward the other wall; said side wall comprising a pair of inclined portions extending inwardly from the inner edges of said spaced walls in a converging relation and meeting at an apex to form a rib lengthwise of said body for engagement with the peripheral edge of said glazing panel to maintain said panel centered within said elastic body; said inclined portions defining a cavity behind said apex for accommodating displacement of said inclined portions upon rectilinear movement of said glazing panel within said elastic body.
