Abstract: A profiled seal for a lowerable vehicle window pane. The seal includes a holding flank which is engaged by a fastening clamp. An upper sealing lip, which self biases to press outward against the window pane, and a lower sealing lip are attached to the holding flank. A cover lip is attached to the upper end of the upper sealing lip. The free end of the cover lip extends from the upper sealing lip to above the holding flank and passes into a groove which is formed between the top of the holding flank and a separate inner cover strip which extends above and is spaced above the holding flank. A pull band extends between the upper end of the upper sealing lip and the upper end of the holding flank and is developed integrally with the profiled seal. In its stretched condition, the pull band is directed at an acute angle to the cover lip. The pull band prevents the free end of the cover lip from slipping out of the groove when the window pane is lowered completely below the upper sealing lip.
