ABSTRACT:
A molding, such as a belt-line window molding for a motor vehicle, is produced by assembling or mating a cover part to at least a flexible portion of a functional main body part. A flexible portion of the functional main body part of the molding is compressed and forced into a substantially C-shaped decorative or ornamental cover part, such as a substantially non-flexible metal cover part of a belt-line window molding for a motor vehicle, the flexible and elastic properties of the flexible main body part facilitating an assembly process. An apparatus is provided to retain the cover part during an assembly process ensuring that the cover part is not bent or otherwise excessively deformed during the assembly process, and provides a pushing force to compress or otherwise manipulate the flexible main body part as required to effect assembly of the two-piece belt-line window molding for a motor vehicle.
