Abstract

An arrangement having a sealing profile of a vehicle body seal and a trim strip connectable to the sealing profile with the trim strip being pressed against the sealing profile perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the profile. Two connecting projections running parallel to and at a distance from each other in the longitudinal direction of the strip protrude from the trim strip. The sealing profile has groove recesses running in the longitudinal direction of the profile for receiving one connecting projection each. The connecting projections are undercut, as seen counter to the press-on direction, and the groove recesses are undercut in the press-on direction. The undercuts of the groove recesses are formed by rib projections for engagement in one undercut each of the connecting projections. The rib projections are tongues which are elastically bendable by the connecting projections when the trim strip is pressed onto the sealing profile.
