Vehicle roof for a motor vehicle comprising:
- a roof opening defined by a peripheral vehicle roof edge,
- a moveable roof element for either closing or at least partially exposing the roof opening, which is held on the vehicle roof, and
- a continuous profiled seal fixed to the vehicle roof along the vehicle roof edge,
- wherein the continuous profiled seal comprises a first tubular seal, wherein the first tubular seal is designed to seal the vehicle roof in relation to the moveable roof element,
- the first tubular seal has a drainage lip, which extends downwards in a vertical direction (Z) from the first tubular seal, and
- the drainage lip, in a coupling area in which the drainage lip is joined to the first tubular seal, has a notch as part of a folding hinge, the notch and the folding hinge being arranged and formed that, on contact from below by another element, the drainage lip is able to fold in a predefined direction towards a frame or a second tubular seal in a predetermined and desired manner,
- the drainage lip has a cut-out in a predefined area of the profiled seal, so that the drainage lip is interrupted in a main direction of extent (H) of the profiled seal along the vehicle roof edge, the cut-out being designed so that water can be purposely drained off at the cut-out.
Roof assembly for a vehicle roof of a motor vehicle,
- wherein the vehicle roof has a roof opening defined by a peripheral vehicle roof edge, the roof assembly comprising:
- a moveable roof element for either closing or at least partially exposing the roof opening, which can be arranged on the vehicle roof, and
- a continuous profiled seal that can be fixed to the vehicle roof along the vehicle roof edge, wherein the continuous profiled seal comprises a first tubular seal, wherein the first tubular seal is designed to seal the vehicle roof in relation to the moveable roof element,
- the first tubular seal has a drainage lip, which extends downwards in a vertical direction (Z) from the first tubular seal, and
- the drainage lip, in a coupling area in which the drainage lip is joined to the first tubular seal, has a notch as part of a folding hinge, the notch and the folding hinge being arranged and formed that, on contact from below by another element, the drainage lip is able to fold in a predefined direction towards a frame or a second tubular seal in a predetermined and desired manner,
- the drainage lip has a cut-out in a predefined area of the profiled seal, so that the drainage lip is interrupted in a main direction of extent (H) of the profiled seal along the vehicle roof edge, the cut-out being designed so that water can be purposely drained off at the cut-out.
