Abstract: An automobile windshield molding is provided to be fitted in a gap formed between an automobile window frame and an automobile windshield. The molding includes an upper molding and opposing side moldings formed monolithically and continuously with the upper molding. The portions of the upper and side moldings which extend above the windshield are formed thicker for the side moldings than for the upper molding, in order to prevent sideways scattering of water incident on the windshield. The thickness of the side moldings decreases gradually toward the upper molding. The molding can be formed by a molding apparatus utilizing shutters which have predetermined shapes and which are linearly movable in order to increase or decrease the effective size of the extrusion opening to gradually change the thickness of the moldings during continuous molding of the upper and side moldings.
