ABSTRACT:
Decorative trim for use such as a body side molding on an automotive vehicle comprises a metal strip with a vinyl insulation applied to one side of the strip. Beads are formed along the longitudinal margins of the strip by turning them inwardly from the main body of the molding so that when applied to the body of an automotive vehicle the main body of the molding is set outwardly from the vehicle body. The formation of the beads stiffens the metal and the beads are disposed against the body of the sheet metal. Various attachment procedures may be used including adhesive between the beads and the vehicle, and the use of mechanical fasteners is also possible.
