  • Patent number: 4035017
    Abstract: A decorative molding for concealing the space between the edge of a window panel and an inwardly offset body panel flange structure having an inwardly extending wall and a wall extending parallel to the body panel. The decorative molding is comprised of a generally rectangular thin-wall tubular member of extruded plastic including laterally spaced inner and outer side walls and top and bottom walls. A pair of legs extend laterally from the inner side wall to form a channel adapted for engagement with the edge of the window panel. The outer side wall is generally planar for contact with the inwardly extending wall and has an end projection which spaces the bottom wall somewhat above the parallel extending wall.
