An automobile roof rail system includes a rail (24,25) having opposed first (38,90,114) and second (30,108,124) side walls defining a cavity (36,36',36'') between the first and second side walls. A retention feature is provided with each of the first side wall and the second side wall. A resilient material first seal (42) is engaged at a first end with the retention feature of the first side wall, and a resilient material second seal (44) is engaged at a first end with the retention feature of the second side wall. A living hinge (76) separates a free second end of each of the first seal and the second seal from the first end. The free second end of each of the first seal and the second seal is directed into the cavity in an as-molded condition.
