ABSTRACT:
A decorative molding is used as a seal around a fixed automobile window, for the purpose of eliminating the squeak caused by rubbing of the molding against the adjacent body during driving. The molding is monolithic and is primarily composed of a flexible elastomeric material such as polyvinyl chloride, co-extruded with a melt-processible rubber that forms an inner body-contacting anti-squeak layer. Optionally, an outer decorative layer of high gloss or colored elastomeric material may be tri-extruded as part of the molding. In a modified form of the invention, flexible members extend from either or both of the window contacting portions of the molding and contact the glass surfaces to improve the gripping thereof.
