In a glass lid (3) for a vehicle roof, the lid plate (4) of which, of glass, is supported from beneath by a reinforcing frame (5), the reinforcing frame (5) projects with a flange (6) beyond the edge of the lid plate (4). Onto the flange (6) an edge gap sealing profile (7) with a clamping groove (8) is pushed. The gap-free sealing between the edge gap sealing profile (7) and the rounded lid plate edge (20) is provided by a specially shaped sealing lip (16) of the edge gap sealing profile, which is subdivided for this purpose into two arms (23, 24) which, when the edge gap sealing profile (7) is pushed onto the flange (6), are automatically pressed tightly and with elastic prestress against the lid plate edge (20).
