  • Trim assembly
    Patent number: 9815257
    Abstract: An assembly includes a substrate, a trim member and a heat-activated adhesive member. The substrate defines at least two surfaces including a finished surface and an unfinished surface. The trim member defines at least two surfaces including an outwardly-facing finished surface and an inwardly-facing attachment surface. The inwardly-facing attachment surface of the trim member is arranged over and trims the unfinished surface of the substrate. The finished surface of the substrate and the outwardly-facing surface of the trim member form a cooperating finished surface of the assembly. The heat-activated adhesive member is disposed over both of the unfinished surface and the inwardly-facing attachment surface of the trim member to indirectly attach the unfinished surface of the substrate to the inwardly-facing attachment surface of the trim member. A method is also disclosed.
