A profile strip arrangement includes a profile strip made of a profile material. The profile strip has a first connecting area for creating a connection to an edge area of a windshield of a motor vehicle, and a second connecting area which is connectable to a water tray cover that is to be arranged adjacent to the windshield. The first connecting area has a surface section that is free of the profile material. The surface section faces the edge area of the windshield, and at least a partial area of the surface section is covered by a double-sided adhesive tape which provides an adhesive connection to the edge area of the windshield. The surface section is formed by a surface of an additional element that is made of metal or by a surface of a coating of the additional element.
