A profile strip arrangement includes a profile strip made of a profile material. The profile strip has a first connecting area configured to form a connection to an edge area of a windshield of a motor vehicle, and has a second connecting area configured to form a connection to a part that is adjacent to the windshield. The first connecting area has a lower connecting section which interacts with an inside of the edge area of the windshield and which has at least one free surface section that is free of the profile material. The at least one free surface section is formed by a surface of an additional element that is made of a material that differs from that of the profile strip.

A sealing strand, in particular for processing during continuous feeding and separation of use portions, including multiple strand parts each of which are connected to one other at abutting ends, and including a double-sided adhesive tape. A removable protective strip covers the tape adhesive surface facing away from the remaining sealing strand. The protective strip has a butt strap at each of the butt joints. The butt strap overlaps the abutting ends of the protective strip portions of the strand parts. Each connection between the butt strap and the overlapping abutting ends of the protective strip portions of the strand parts begins only at a distance from the butt joint. The connection of the butt strap to at least one of the two overlapped abutting ends begins in a region in the strand longitudinal direction of consecutive separating cuts in the abutting end.

A window assembly moveable between open and locked positions having a pane of window glass held in a gasket attached to a window frame with adhesive. When in the locked position, the gasket has a removable pull strip enclosed in an internal channel which when removed allows the gasket to move to the open position, allowing safe exit through the window opening.

A tonneau cover can include a frame, a bed cover portion located within the frame, and a gasket to form a watertight seal between the frame and a vehicle. In some embodiments, the gasket includes an attachment portion configured to connect with the frame and a compression portion attached to the attachment portion and configured to deform between the tonneau cover and the vehicle to resist water entry between the gasket and the vehicle. In some embodiments, the attachment portion is less compressible than the compression portion. In some embodiments, the attachment portion comprises a pair of arms extending outward from a stop component and the compression portion comprises a pair of bulb seals, each of the bulb seals being located below each of the arms.
