Abstract: A window molding for a vehicle includes a leg portion arranged between an outer peripheral surface of the windshield and the body panel and having an opposite surface faced to the outer peripheral surface of the windshield, a head portion integrally formed on the leg portion and having a contacting surface contacted to an outer surface of the windshield, an engaging portion integrally formed on the leg portion and contacted to an inner surface of the windshield, a lip portion integrally formed on the leg portion or the head portion and contacted to the body panel, and a core member buried into part of the head portion disposed along the corner portion of the edge of the windshield, which is located outside of the outer peripheral surface of the windshield, and extended in the longitudinal direction of the head portion.

Abstract: A trim strip for vehicles comprising an elongated plastic body defining an interior channel and opposed base edges defining an opening to the channel and being disposed proximate the vehicle surface; an elongated flexible soft plastic element integrally secured to the body at each base edge between the body and the vehicle surface; a stainless steel foil bonded to the exterior surface of the body, the foil having opposed foil edges secured to respective base edges; engaging means for securing the body to the vehicle surface, the engaging means being disposed in the channel and having opposed edges adjacent the interior surface of the base edges; and complementary interlocking means on the adjacent surfaces of the respective base and engaging means edges for securing the engaging means to the body and preventing relative motion between the body and the engaging means caused by thermal deformation.
