A sealing profile (10a, 10b) for sealing a powered window pane (11a, 11b) in a door (12a, 12b) of a motor vehicle. The sealing profile (10a, 10b) includes a base body (18) made of an elastomeric material on which at least one sealing portion (19a, 19b) and at least one fastening portion (20) for attaching the sealing profile (10a, 10b) to a door flange (21) are provided. The sealing profile (10a, 10b) also includes at least one trim strip (22) that has a finishing portion (23) and a fastener (24), which protrudes therefrom and which can be fixed to the base body (18) in a positive manner. The trim strip (22) is curved in the longitudinal direction thereof. The fastener (24) is provided in the form of an elongated insertion limb, which is oriented essentially perpendicular to the finishing portion (23). The fastener (24) is additionally provided with at least one appendage (25a, 25b). The base body (18) comprises a flexible reinforcing element (27) that reinforces the finishing portion (23) in the area of the door flange (21). The base body (18) also includes a slot-shaped retainer channel (28), which extends along the limb of the reinforcing element (27), said limb running essentially parallel to the door flange (21), and which is provided with at least one recess (31a, 31b). The fastener (24) is placed inside the retainer channel (28), and the appendage (25a, 25b) of the fastener (24) engages in a positive manner inside the associated recess (31a, 31b) of the retainer channel (28).
A sealing profile for sealing a powered window pane in a motor vehicle door comprising a base body made of an elastomeric material, at which at least one sealing portion and at least one fastening portion for defining said sealing profile at a door flange are provided, and including at least one trim strip comprising a finishing portion and a fastener protruding therefrom for positive definition on said base body, wherein said trim strip is curved lengthwise, said fastener is configured as an elongated insertion limb oriented substantially perpendicular to said finishing portion and at least one appendage is provided, and said base body comprises a flexible reinforcing element which reinforces said finishing portion in the region of said door flange and a slotted, retainer channel extending along a leg of said reinforcing element oriented substantially parallel to said door flange and provided with at least one recess, said fastener being arranged in said retainer channel and said appendage of said fastener positively engaging the corresponding recess of said retainer channel, wherein prior to fitting said trim strip said retainer channel is closed off by a peel cord connected to said base body via webs.
