ABSTRACT:
An injection molded trim strip and a method for its formation are provided. The method comprises the steps of: providing an elongate, polymeric strip having an upper surface, a lower surface which is spaced from the upper surface and first and second ends; removing material from the polymeric strip inwardly from at least one of the first and second ends so as to create a modified strip; and injection molding with a polymeric material to fill at least a portion of an area formerly occupied by the removed material to create a trim strip having an intermediate surface extending between the upper and lower surfaces formed from the injected polymeric material. The trim strip comprises an elongate, polymeric strip of a predefined length having an upper surface, a lower surface which is spaced from the upper surface, and first and second ends, at least one of the first and second ends having a recess, and at least a portion of the recess being filled with polymeric filler material defining an intermediate surface extending between the upper and lower surfaces.
