ABSTRACT:
A vehicle cowling (10) can comprise a generally planar, relatively rigid thermoplastic body (12) which includes an elongated notch (26) extending along its back edge (22). A seal (14) can be received in the notch and integrally molded to the body to securely bond the seal to the body. The seal comprises a soft material relative to the body and provides an interface between the cowling and a vehicle windshield. A plurality of protector pins (34) extend generally perpendicularly from a bottom surface (18) of the body and lie in longitudinally spaced relationship along the back edge of the body. The bosses also comprise a soft material relative to the body. The body is securely clamped between the bosses and portions of the seal in the notch of the body.
