ABSTRACT:
With a sealing arrangement for the gap between the rigid cover of a vehicle roof and the roof opening, by which the cover, comprised of a glass panel, is glued on its rim area to an underlying base frame that protrudes at the side, and which is connected between glass panel periphery and roof opening with a gap seal having a protruding edge of the base frame, a simpler assembly with fewer individual components is provided in compliance with the invention's specifications in that the gap seal (3) features a U-shaped clamping area (13), provided with a reinforcement made of an elastomer, having an overlapping lip-shaped protrusion (15) over the edge of the glass panel (2), as well as a sealing lip (17) running around the edge of the glass panel (2) on the side of the clamping area (13), as well as a hollow chamber profile (20) of sponge rubber that is extruded onto the other side, and that the gap seal is secured with its U-shaped clamping area (13) onto a vertically protruding edge (12) of the base frame (10).
