Claim:
1. A bumper assembly for controlling relative movement between a closure panel and a frame defining an opening, said bumper assembly including a bracket, an operating link pivotally mounted to said bracket for rotation about an axis, a cam member pivotally connected to said bracket for rotation about said axis, said cam member having a peripheral cam surface with a progressively increasing radius from said axis of rotation, a lever mounted on said bracket and moveable relative thereto between a retracted position and an engaged position, said lever having a resilient bumper mounted thereon and a tail spaced from said bumper and engagable with said peripheral cam surface, a connector extending between said operating link and said cam member to rotate said cam member upon movement of said link, a biasing element acting between said operating link and said bracket to bias said operating link to move said cam member to a position in which said tail engages said cam member at a maximum radius of said cam surface and said bumper is moved toward said engaged position, and an actuator operable against said biasing element to rotate said cam member toward a position in which said tail engages a minimum radius of said cam surface and thereby permit said bumper to move to said retracted position.
