ABSTRACT:
A molded polymeric trim panel has an upper and a lower edge. The upper edge includes a surface for receiving an adhesive for attachment of the upper edge of the panel to a support surface on a vehicle. In some embodiments, the trim panel further includes integrally molded spaced projections including slots or apertures for receiving conventional fasteners for providing for tolerance variations from vehicle to vehicle for installation. The resultant panel structure attaches either as original equipment to the vehicle or gloves over an existing trim panel. In a preferred embodiment, the upper edge of the panel includes spacing lands for providing clearance for vehicle doors once installed.
