Abstract

A sealing profile intended to seal a gap between the outer boundary of a motor vehicle door and its allocated opening of a motor vehicle construction comprises a tube-like construction that consists of at least two tubular profiles (4, 5) that are disposed one inside the other. The two tubular profiles are produced for example during co-extrusion and are formed in terms of construction and material with the proviso that the inner tubular profile (5) provides a resilient restoring force whereas the outer tubular profile (4) is chosen with regard to its surface properties, in particular the provision of a sealing function, which requires adaptation to dimensional inaccuracies and inequalities in the region of the boundary surfaces defining the sealing gap. An adhesive region (2) that is intended to connect to the one of the two boundaries is applied to the sealing profile. For example, the inner tubular profile can consist of silicone and the outer tubular profile can consist of sponge rubber or soft rubber. A product that fulfills all of the mechanical and thermal boundary conditions of the automotive industry and that can be used to the greatest possible flexible extent is provided.
