Abstract: An automobile window molding assembly includes an elongate outer ornamental member or trimming member which is secured to an automobile body panel by fastener members. The ornamental or trimming member is formed of a profiled metal member for covering a gap between a body panel and upper and side edges of a window plate mounted on the body panel. The ornamental or trimming member has upper and side portions to extend along the upper and side edges of a window plate, respectively, and a corner portion between the upper and side portions for integrally connecting them with each other. The ornamental or trimming member has such a predetermined profile that, when the assembly is mounted in place, the ornamental or trimming member is in abutment with outer surface of the window plate along the upper portion while it is spaced from the outer surface of the window plate along the side portion.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a molding member, for instance for automobile windshields or rear windows, formed at least partly of an extruded body of a synthetic resin material, as well as a method of manufacturing such molding members. The molding member has an integral lip section in the form of a ridge which extends throughout the entire length, as well as a core element embedded in the main body to extend into the lip section. Typically, the lip section bears against the outer surface of the window pane along the upper portion to form a flush outer surface along junctions between the upper edge of the window pane and the body panel, but is spaced therefrom along the side portions to define a weir. The weir is formed by plastically deforming a predetermined portion of the core element.

The weir is formed by plastically deforming a predetermined portion of the core element. The weir prevents flow of rain water across the molding member and around the side of the vehicle the driver's or navigators' sight through a window.
