The invention relates to a sealing element (1) for a motor vehicle, comprising at least one first
contact region (14), by means of which the sealing element (1) can be arranged on a
front cover (4) of the motor vehicle, which can be pivoted between a closed position (3) and at least one open position, and at least one second
contact region (15), by means of which the sealing element (1) can be arranged on the
front cover (4) of the motor vehicle, the sealing element (1) can be arranged at least indirectly on a
structural element (16) of the motor vehicle, which
structural element is separate from the
front cover (4), in the closed position (3), the front cover (4) can be supported at least indirectly on the
structural element (16) by means of the sealing element (1) via the respective contact regions (14, 15), and in the closed position (3), the front cover (4) can be supported at least indirectly on the structural element (16) by means of the respective contact regions (14, 15). A bend (10) of the front cover (4) arranged at a front end (12) of the front cover (4) in the vehicle longitudinal direction (11) can be surrounded by the first
