ABSTRACT:
A trim molding for a framed opening of a vehicle has an outer flexible skin backed by an energy-absorbing foam core to provide impact protection to the occupants of the vehicle. Imbedded in the foam core is an air duct having an inlet and a plurality of outlets for directing a flow of air out of the duct and on to an adjacent window of the vehicle to clear the window of condensation. The duct yields under the force of impact so as not to detract from the energy-absorbing attribute of the foam.
