The invention relates to a method for installing a profiled sealing section, a profiled edge protection section or similar profiled extruded section formed of an extruded material on a component of a motor vehicle, in which the extruded material () is wound off a reel, at least one length section having a predefined length of the extruded material is cut off the extruded material as the profiled sealing section, profiled edge protection section or similar profiled extruded section to be installed, and is installed on the component. Prior to being wound onto the reel, the extruded material () is prepared such that the extruded material () comprises defect-free usage sections () having a predefined usage length (), between which intermediate sections () having a predefined intermediate length () are arranged. As part of the installation, the intermediate sections () are removed from the extruded material () and separated as scrap.
