ABSTRACT:
A vehicle body side molding comprises a trim plate and a rub strip covering part of the trim plate. The rub strip includes tabs integrally formed with the strip and projecting into apertures formed in the trim plate. The periphery of the apertures is formed with resilient barbs that engage the tab and hold it in the aperture. The tabs project from a planar abutment surface that limits movement of the tab into the aperture.
