ABSTRACT:
A window reveal molding includes a C shaped inner member of high durometer plastic material including spaced apart legs which are closer together than the thickness of the window panel so the legs forcibly grip the opposed faces of the window panel. The molding also includes an outer member of low durometer plastic material which is coextruded onto the inner member. The outer member has a C shaped channel portion including legs encapsulating the legs of the inner member and extending beyond into sealing engagement with the window panel. The outer member also has a continuous flexible lip extruded integral therewith and extending therefrom into engagement with either an outer body panel or a recessed portion of a body panel flange when the window panel with the molding attached thereto is installed in the window opening so that the flexible lip bridges across the space between the window panel and the body panel. The inner member also includes a base connecting the legs and spaced from the edge of the window panel to define therebetween a cavity for receiving a bonding and sealing material. The flexible lip and the body panel define a water conducting drain channel between the molding and the vehicle body panel.
