ABSTRACT:
A vehicle body wheel opening structure includes a pinchweld structure defined by flanges of a body outer panel and a body wheelhouse member which are secured to each other and extend generally within the plane of the opening. The edge of the pinchweld structure defines a body wheel opening. A generally U-shaped molding clamps to the pinchweld structure and is retained against any movement downwardly of the wheel opening by closure members which close the open lower ends of the molding and are secured to flanges of the outer panel.
