A multi-piece frame for an open roof assembly is manufactured by providing a first frame element (20) having an edge and a first attachment area (21) adjacent to the edge; providing a second frame element (30) having a second attachment area (31); arranging the first attachment area (21) and the second attachment area (31) at least partly over each other; applying a fluid sealant (43) adjacent to the edge of the first frame element; applying a sealing element (40) on at least one of the first frame element (20) and the second frame element (30) and on the sealant (43), while the sealant (43) is still at least partly fluid; and curing the sealant (43) to provide a fluid-tight sealing between the first frame element (20), the second frame element (30) and the sealing element (40). Thus, fluid tight connection between the sealing element (40) and the sealant (43) is provided in a reliable manner.
