ABSTRACT:
An ornamental and protective door edge guard comprises a metal strip of generally U-shaped cross section having inner and outer legs via which the edge guard is self-retaining on the edge of a vehicle door. An insulating layer is applied to the strip to protectively insulate the interior of the strip from the door to which it is applied. Various embodiments of edge guards are disclosed with each having on at least one of the legs thereof, an insulated bead formed by reversing the extreme distal margin of the strip and insulating layer such that the insulating layer covers both that surface portion of the underlying metal bead which faces toward, and but for the insulating layer would be in contact with, the door edge as well as that surface portion which faces away from the door edge. Some embodiments have beads formed by double reversals of the strip and insulating layer.
