  • Publication number: 20090241430
    Abstract: A seal arrangement consists of a U-shaped reception profile (1), the base side of which is designed to be fastened to a body part, and of an attachment profile (4) which has a U-shaped holding part (17) which is attached onto one leg (3) of the reception profile (1). The reception profile (1) forms a reception space (6) for bordering a pane (42), which reception space is delimited by hollow profile parts (10, 18) which lie opposite one another and are intended for bearing sealingly against the pane (42) and which are integrally formed in each case on the reception profile (1) and on the attachment profile (4). With the pane (42) moved out of the reception space (6), the hollow profile parts (10, 18) bear under elastic prestress one against the other. The attachment part (4) can be mounted and demounted independently of the reception part, so that the reception profile (1) can be utilized for the exact positioning of the seal arrangement as a whole.

  • Publication number: 20090021054
    Abstract: A drainage arrangement for a vehicle roof comprising two roof parts (1, 2) which are arranged on a vehicle body in a manner such that they can be pivoted between a closed position and an open position is formed by an elastic drainage line which interacts with the pivotably mounted, fixed roof parts (1, 2) and, with regard to fault-free operation, is divided into two sections which are connected to each other via a separating device (8), wherein the individual sections move virtually as rigid bodies during the pivoting movement of the roof parts (1, 2). As a consequence of a pivoting movement of the linkage supporting the roof parts (1, 2), the separating device (8) can be switched between an open position, in which rainwater can be discharged in an orderly manner via the drainage line, and a closed position, in which rainwater is held back in a collecting region containing a collecting container (6).
