A profile strip arrangement includes a profile strip made of a profile material. The profile strip has a first connecting area for creating a connection to an edge area of a windshield of a motor vehicle, and a second connecting area which is connectable to a water tray cover that is to be arranged adjacent to the windshield. The first connecting area has a surface section that is free of the profile material. The surface section faces the edge area of the windshield, and at least a partial area of the surface section is covered by a double-sided adhesive tape which provides an adhesive connection to the edge area of the windshield. The surface section is formed by a surface of an additional element that is made of metal or by a surface of a coating of the additional element.

Disclosed herein are embodiments of gaskets that can be used between a tonneau cover and a vehicle frame, such as the truck bed of a vehicle. The gaskets can be configured for use on a number of different types of vehicles. Further, the gaskets can form improved waterproof seals to prevent water from entering the truck bed of the vehicle.

A method for determining the elongation and/or compression of a profiled sealing element applied to a body includes drawing the profiled sealing element, which exists as an endless profiled element, from a store and, with the help of an application roller and by means of an adhesive surface present on the profiled sealing element, rolling the profiled sealing element onto the body part along a line intended for the attachment. A measuring roller, which rolls on the profiled sealing element without slip, is arranged at a small distance before a drive system for the profiled sealing element. The length sensed by the measuring roller corresponds to the length of the profiled sealing element applied to the body along an application distance having a defined length.

A sealing profile includes an elastomer body with a first and a second profile section. The first profile section is harder than the second profile section and has an elongated cross section with an exposed flank. A first plane that is tangential with respect to the exposed flank subdivides the second profile section in the relaxed state into a first and a second sealing region.
