ABSTRACT:
A two-piece assembly is provided for filling, sealing and concealing an elongated groove formed in a surface of an automobile body. The groove, measured transversely, is wider at the bottom than at the top. The assembly comprises releasably attachable first and second members. The elongated elastic (molded rubber) first member is manually disposed in the groove and has an elongated slot extending inwardly from the exposed top side thereof. The elongated rigid (plastic) second member comprises a lower portion having serrated opposite lateral sides and an upper trim molding portion. The lower serrated portion is manually inserted in the slot to effect transverse outward expansion of the lateral sides of the first member so that the first member fills and seals the groove and is frictionally secured therein. The upper trim molding portion lies against the surface of the automobile body and serves to conceal both the groove and the lower portion of the second member, when the serrated lower portion is fully inserted in the slot. The second member is forceably detachable from the first member for replacement, if necessary.
