A profile strand for a motor vehicle extends in a longitudinal direction and is configured to seal a movable window pane of the motor vehicle. The profile strand comprises an end portion, an end cap and a cover. The end cap is coupled to the end portion. The cover can cover the end cap at least partially. The end cap comprises a base portion with a contact surface and a top surface, the contact surface contacting the end portion and the top surface facing away from the end portion. The cover can be moved from an open position, in which the top surface is exposed, to a cover position, in which the top surface is covered. The cover can be fixed in the cover position. In a method for manufacturing such a profile strand, the end cap is coupled to the end portion by welding.
