Sealing frame parts of an open roof assembly

A method of providing a frame for an open roof assembly, comprising:

• providing a first frame element having an edge and a first attachment area adjacent to the edge;
• providing a second frame element having a second attachment area;
• arranging the first attachment area and the second attachment area to at least partly overlap with the second attachment area below the first attachment area;
• applying and curing a fluid first sealant to contact the edge of the first frame element and contact the portion of the second attachment area adjacent the edge with an upper surface of the cured first sealant below a sealing level to create a void between the upper surface of the cured first sealant, the sealing level being a level where an underside of a sealing element is arranged;
• applying a fluid second sealant on the cured first sealant to fill the void;
• applying a sealing element on at least one of the first frame element and the second frame element, and applying the sealing element on the fluid second sealant, while the fluid second sealant is still at least partly fluid;
• and
• curing the second sealant to provide a fluid-tight sealing between the sealing element and the at least one of the first frame element and the second frame element.

A frame for an open roof assembly having an opening, the frame comprising:

• a first frame element having an edge and a first attachment area adjacent to the edge;
• a second frame element having a second attachment area, wherein the first attachment area and the second attachment area at least partly overlap with the second attachment area below the first attachment area, the first frame element and the second frame element defining at least part of the opening;
• a partly fluid sealant contacting the edge of the first frame element and contacting a portion of the second attachment area adjacent the edge;
• and
• a sealing element arranged on the first frame element, the partly fluid sealant and the second frame element, wherein the sealing element is in contact with the partly fluid sealant.
