Abstract

A method and apparatus are proposed for sealing the gap between a rigid sliding roof and a fixed roof region of a motor car surrounding the same by means of a cavity seal element which is housed beneath the fixed roof region by a groove formed between the latter and a rail attached to the roof which exhibits mutually spaced perforations in its upper member. In order to obtain simply a predetermined groove height, a distance or spacing element, which faces the fixed roof region, and the foot part which is constructed as a clip, is let into at least two of the perforations.
