Claim:
A sealing arrangement for a gap between first and second components which are moveable relative to each other between open and closed positions, for example a closing element, such as a door or a hinged lid of a motor vehicle, and an edge of an opening which is to be closed, said first component having a corner and said gap having an inner and an outer side, said sealing arrangement comprising: a grip rail fixable to the first component; a profile having a holding region which can be positively latched to said grip rail, said profile further having a sealing region attached to said holding region and which cooperates in a sealing manner with the second component when said first and second components are in the closed position, said sealing region being disposed laterally offset with respect to said grip rail towards the inner side of the gap; said holding region having a support portion which is remote from said sealing region and which is supportable on the corner region of the first component, said support portion comprising at least one sealing rib which lies against the corner region; a support rib positioned between said sealing region and said first component, said support rib being movable into contact with said first component when said first component is in the closed position, said support rib otherwise being out of contact with said first component; and wherein a resultant force of a deformation force acting upon said sealing region when the opening is closed runs at least approximately through said grip rail.
