ABSTRACT:
A molding for mounting a window panel in a window opening larger than the window panel includes a yieldable elastomeric body having a first groove adapted to receive an edge of the window panel and a second groove adapted to receive an edge of the body panel. The molding has a deformable hollow tubular member embedded therein and extending in parallel relationship with the grooves. After the molding and the window panel are installed in the opening the tubular member is crushed and the deformation of the tubular member spreads the elastomeric molding into permanent engagement with the window panel and/or the body panel to thereby permanently and sealingly mount the window in the vehicle body. The molding preferably includes a base portion which fits between the edge of the glass and the edge of the body panel and first and second spaced apart legs which define the groove receiving the edge of one of the panels. Third and fourth legs also extend from the body to define the second groove receiving the other panel. The fourth leg is shorter than the other legs so that the short leg facilitates assembly of the molding with respect to the two panels. Crushing of the tubular member spreads the fourth leg to permanently and fixedly mount the window on the vehicle body.
