ABSTRACT:
A molding construction is provided for concealing or finishing the space between the window and the body panel of a motor vehicle. The molding construction includes a mounting strip having a portion extending around and spaced laterally outwardly from the window edge and secured to the window edge by adhesive. A reveal which can be produced by various manufacturing processes and shaped in various configurations is dimensioned to meet the design criteria of the application and to aesthetically cover the space between the window edge and the body panel. The reveal includes a thermally stable tongue which is detachably lockingly received within a recess formed on the mounting strip. A resilient bumper or bulb is secured to and extends laterally outwardly from the mounting strip. This bumper engages a side flange of the body panel and cushions the mounting strip with its attached window against lateral movement. This design virtually eliminates all sources of stress on the glass. In some instances, it may also serve in an aesthetic as well as functional role in reducing noise.
