10. The cowl as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the lugs of said seal has notches allowing the insertion of a tool.
11. The cowl as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said support has a C-shaped cross section comprising a branch intended to cooperate with said at least one turned-up lug being folded toward the inside of this C.
12. The cowl as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the two branches of said C are folded toward the inside of the C.
13. The cowl as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the branches of said C have openings.
14. The cowl as claimed in claim 4 , wherein said support comprises a rail or tube.
