  • Vehicle body molding assembly
    Patent number: 4220365
    Abstract: An elongated base member terminates in end tips having inwardly facing walls, and a flexible molding strip is arranged to be snapped into and anchored in the base member. The structure for holding the flexible molding strip on the base member includes barbs at each end adjacent to the inwardly facing walls. The arrangement is such that these barbs extend into the molding strip when the latter is snapped into place and hold the ends of the strip adjacent to the inwardly facing walls regardless of contraction forces acting on the molding strip as a result of temperature changes.
