A hinge joint including:
- a first hinge component including a first region having a first profile;
- a second hinge component including a second region having a second profile;
- a flexible member linking the first and second hinge components to support relative movement of the first hinge component and the second hinge component between an abutting relationship and a non-abutting relationship;
- a sealing member located to form a seal between the first region and the second region, said sealing member for inhibiting ingress of weather elements through the hinge joint when the first hinge component and the second hinge component are in the abutting relationship;
- wherein during movement of the first hinge component and the second hinge component to form the abutting relationship, the first profile and the second profile progressively intermesh with each another;
- wherein the first profile and the second profile are shaped to progressively align the first hinge component and the second hinge component during movement to form the abutting relationship to form a desired alignment therebetween;
- and
- wherein when the first hinge component and the second hinge component are in the abutting relationship, the first profile and the second profile interoperate to compress the sealing member.
