Abstract: A method for forming a seal or cover on an opening of a vehicle body. An extruded strand made of an elastomer material is adhered to a body support surface which receives the strand, and the support surface and/or a strand surface to be adhered is supplied with adhesive material prior to the adhesion process. The supply of adhesive material is controlled according to an adhesive material quantity requirement based on the strand length, the requirement changing in the longitudinal direction of the support surface, as a result of depressions and/or steps for example, and/or according to an arrangement of the strand surface to be adhered on the strand, the arrangement changing in the longitudinal direction of the support surface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a circumferential seal or/and covering on a door or/and opening flap of a vehicle body, comprising a flexible strand (2) having an elastomer material and an adhesive material layer (3) extending in the longitudinal direction of the strand and connecting the strand (2) to the vehicle body (1). According to the invention, the strand (2) can be torn off from the body (1), leaving behind a sufficiently smooth adhesive surface for adhering the body (1) to a replacement part strand.
