Abstract: A weatherstrip intended for positioning on the flange of the edge of the opening of a vehicle consists of a side-by-side arrangement of a tubular sealing section (1), a U-shaped fastening section (2) and a strip (3) laterally formed on the fastening section (2), which together with a limb (2?) of the fastening section (2) circumscribes a cavity (9?) which is open toward the underside (1?) of the weatherstrip. The cross-sectional profile of the sealing section (1) is partially formed by the limb (2??) of the fastening section (2) facing said sealing section, ventilation holes (18) located on the underside of the weatherstrip facing the aforementioned edge, forming a region of the sealing section (1) of greatest wall thickness.

Abstract: In order to easily permit functionally correct mounting of a sealing strip (3) which is intended for use on the frame structure of a vehicle opening, a sealing arrangement is proposed which is composed of an attachment section (4) and a sealing section (5), wherein aids are provided which are intended for carrying out uniquely determined positioning on a section (2) of the aforesaid frame structure. These aids are a groove (7) which is configured to receive a frame part of the frame structure and which extends along the entire length of the sealing strip (3) and whose maximum insertion depth signals the precise positioning of the sealing strip on the aforesaid frame part. These aids can also be a bead (15) which is integrally formed on the attachment section (4) and which performs the function of a spacing element in relation to a stop surface of the aforesaid frame structure and is connected to the attachment section in a releasable, in particular tear-off connection.
