摘要

A seal which serves to seal the window (13) of a motor vehicle (10) is provided with a sealing profile (20) and a reinforcing support (40) which reinforces the sealing profile (20). The sealing profile (20) comprises a sealing section (21) and a fastening section (26) in which the reinforcing support (40) is embedded. The fastening section (26) has an inner limb (27), an outer limb (28) and a base section (29). A receiving channel (30) which can be placed onto a flange (14) of the motor vehicle (10) is arranged between the inner limb (27) and the outer limb (28). The reinforcing support (40) comprises a first flank section (41), a second flank section (42) and a central section (43). At least the flank sections (41, 42) are provided with a multiplicity of slits (46, 47). The first flank section (41) is composed of a slit region (48) and an edge region (49). The edge region (49) is configured to be stiffer than the slit region (48). The inner limb (27) and the first flank section (41) are provided in the region of a designated curvature of the seal with a cutout (60) which covers at least the edge region (49).
