ABSTRACT:
An elongate finisher member for automotive vehicles or the like, such as a lower window molding member, includes an elongate main body of predetermined length and cross-section. The main body has a mount portion with openings for passing fasteners to secure the finisher member to a vehicle body. The finisher member further includes a flap element which extends longitudinally along the main body. The flap element has a first end region integrally connected to the main body, and a second end region which is movable between an open position and a closed position. In the open position of the second end region, the flap element maintains the openings in the mount portion accessible from outside to facilitate insertion of fasteners into the openings. In the closed position of the second end region, the flap element covers the mount portion and maintains the openings and fasteners invisible from outside to provide a refined appearance.
