ABSTRACT:
A protective molding system for use with automotive vehicles is disclosed. The molding includes a rolled metallic carrier strip of a generally U-shaped configuration. A plastic member insert of a given surface configuration, texture and color is bonded or affixed within the U-shaped channel such as by snap-on, roll form or slide assembly with the carrier strip. The flat underside of the carrier is provided with an adhesive layer comprising a double-sided stick-on tape. The ends of the carrier strip are provided with retainers or fasteners for positive attachment to the vehicle body. The open ends of the carrier strip are closed with plastic, die-cast or forged plugs which include portions which extend into the plastic member insert. The plugs are staked from the underside of the carrier strip to provide a positive lock therein.
