Abstract
A motor vehicle has a side door which has a door inner panel on the motor vehicle interior side and a door outer skin on the motor vehicle outer side. The door inner panel and the door outer skin are joined together at least in some sections in an edge region of the side door in order to form a butt joint, wherein a gap can be formed between the door inner panel and the door outer skin in the edge region at least partly on the basis of tolerances in a Y direction and/or an X-Z direction, and a seal element is provided which can be secured to the door inner panel by securing elements, extends over the edge region, and sealingly lies against the exterior of the door inner panel and the door outer skin in each case. The seal element is made of a hard component which extends along the edge region, and a soft component is arranged on the hard component solely on the door inner panel side and the door outer skin side, said soft component sealingly lying against the exterior of the door inner panel and the door outer skin in each case so as to adjoin the edge region when the seal element is secured.
