An elongated seal comprises a base having an inner side and an outer side opposite to each other. Further, a bulb portion is integrally connected to the. An L-shaped clipping lug is integrally connected to the base via its proximal end. An angled distal end of the L-shaped clipping lug is adapted for releasably tucked under or clipped into an groove formed above a surface of an elongated mounting profile by at least one clipping bracket extending into a longitudinal direction. Further, a supporting means is positioned either at the outer side or at the inner side of base, whatever lies opposite to the L-shaped clipping lug. The supporting means is integrally connected to the base and/or is formed by the base such that the supporting means is adapted to supportingly rest on the elongated mounting profile without mechanical engagement in the installed state of the elongated seal.
