ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle window molding installation has a molding for concealing a space between an inwardly extending wall of a flanged vehicle body panel and an edge of a window panel. The edge of the window panel overlies a parallel extended wall which intersects the inwardly extending wall of the flanged vehicle body panel and mounts on the parallel extended wall of the flanged vehicle body panel by a curable adhesive. The molding has a rigid high durometer plastic material portion having a C-shaped channel section including spaced apart legs which forcibly grip the opposed faces of the window panel and a base wall connecting the legs. A pliable low durometer plastic material portion is co-extruded with the rigid portion. The pliable portion has a web including a pair of ends which bond to the rigid portion. The web and the rigid portion form a bulbous tubular portion for engaging the inwardly extending wall of the vehicle body panel. The rigid portion has a rib extending between the base wall of the C-shaped channel section and the web which partitions the bulbous tubular portion and biases the web into engagement with the flanged vehicle body panel whereby the web conceals the space between the flanged vehicle body panel and the edge of the window panel.
