Abstract: An improved molding assembly for a vehicle having a window opening with a flange in the plane of the opening and a window in the opening parallel to the plane thereof but spaced therefrom by a gap, the assembly including a wire carrier having anchoring tangs encapsulated in a decorative body and retention tangs projecting from the body and a bead of cured material in the gap retaining the window on the body. The wire carrier is mounted on the flange with the body overlying the gap and the retention tangs and anchoring tangs gripping the flange. The retention tangs are disposed in the gap and the cured material is flowed through and around interstices in the tangs to encapsulate at least a portion of the tangs in the cured material to retain the carrier and the body on the flange.
