Abstract: Interconnectable profiled elements (1, 2), in particular for panel-type structural components of motor vehicles, having, on opposite joining edges, a respective projecting connecting web (3) and a respective recess (4), which peters out in open form into the relevant joining edge at a distance from this connecting web (3), for receiving the connecting web (3) of an attached profiled element (1, 2) having a joining edge of complementary design are intended to be joinable at different distances from one another. By this means, it is intended to be able to obtain an exact length measurement for a component joined together from a plurality of profiled elements. For this purpose, the webs (3) and recesses (4) are provided in a shape which permits the profiled elements (1, 2) which are to be connected to one another to be joined at different distances from one another within a predefinable range of tolerances.
