ABSTRACT:
A profiled strip, particularly for application to the exterior of an automotive vehicle, is a hollow plastic blow molding with a rear wall for application to the surface of the vehicle and an exposed front wall in which there is a strip of transparent material enabling viewing of the interior of the hollow profiled strip. A decorative trim strip is disposed within the hollow of the molding and is visible through the transparent strip. To manufacture the profiled strip, a tubular extruded profile is extruded around the decorative strip. The decorative strip has adhesive on one surface thereof for adhering to the front wall of the profiled strip. The rear wall of the profiled strip has openings through it through which air is blown for blowing the decorative strip against the front wall for adherence thereto. Following extrusion of the profiled member with the decorative strip within it, the heated profiled member is cut into individual sections, the longitudinal ends of those sections are closed and the sections are then delivered to a blow mold in which they are finally blow molded.
