Abstract: A reinforced extrusion for attachment to a motor vehicle component edge or flange. The reinforced extrusion includes a reinforcement core having at least one flexible wire and at least one threaded cord. A thermoplastic overmold is formed on at least one side of the reinforcement core and at least partly fills any gaps formed in the reinforcement core. An extruded layer is selectively formed around the thermoplastic overmold and reinforcement core and has a flange extending flange portion extending from a channel portion for engaging a motor vehicle component. The thermoplastic overmold helps prevent the reinforcement core from showing through to any visible show surface of the reinforced extrusion.
