A profiled frame, as a window frame and/or door frame of a motor vehicle door or lid, is manufactured as a roll formed profile from flat strip material, in particular from flat steel, with a preferably closed hollow profile and with preferably at least one flange following the progression of the hollow profile, and with at least one contact surface () and/or one attachment formation () on the hollow profile and/or the flange. At least one contact surface () and/or attachment formation () is fashioned into an additional profile which is separate from a hollow profile, and that the additional profile is permanently and rigidly connected with said hollow profile, in particular welded to it.

A lightweight door for vehicles comprises a door box having a top portion delimited by inner and outer window gutter profiles. A lightweight window frame is coupled to the door box and is formed of light metal or light metal alloy. The window frame is formed from an extruded bent profile that has a closed hollow chamber and at least one mounting formation. The mounting formation may include a mounting groove or a clip-on strip. The mounting formation continuously follows a length of the profile and is for receiving at least one add-on component. A plastic molded panel module is coupled to the frame. The module has a support surface and outer panels formed as a single piece along the frame adjacent a roof rail and a B-pillar of the motor vehicle.
