The strip is made of extruded material defining a channel which embracingly grips a flange. The extruded material is extended to form a limb which supports a lip contacting one surface of the window pane. A reinforcing carrier is embedded in the channel shaped extruded material to strengthen the grip on the flange. The carrier is provided with a plurality of transversely directed through slits to enable the carrier to be curved and the carrier has a longitudinally extending unslit region (B) arranged on the outside of the curve.
