Abstract: A mounting arrangement for coupling a trim member to a structural member of a motor vehicle. The motor vehicle includes a structural member and a glass member. A longitudinally extending formation is coupled to the glass member. The trim member is a longitudinally extending trim member having an edge that extends along its length. When the trim member is coupled to the structural member, the edge of the trim member contacts or engages at least a portion of the longitudinally extending formation so as to accurately position the trim member relative to the glass member.

Abstract: An anchor-valve stem assembly has a valve stem, having a bore formed therethrough and a valve formed within the valve stem, preferably a check valve. At least one attachment member or anchor is formed upon the valve stem so as to facilitate attachment to at least one tether, preferably formed of elastic. The anchor(s) preferably comprise generally cylindrical arms and are preferably formed integrally with the valve stem. A cap is optionally attached, preferably via a tether, to the valve stem so as to close the bore thereof. The use of such an anchor-valve stem assembly facilitates the efficient fabrication of inflatable items such as balls to which it is desirable to attach at least one tether.
