Abstract: An automotive window molding attached onto a circumference of a window glass and arranged at a pillar side of a vehicle body, includes an outside glass abutting portion being in contact with an outside surface of the window glass, an outside ornamental head portion arranged outside of the outside glass abutting portion and spaced apart from the outside glass abutting portion so that the outside ornamental head portion and the outside glass abutting portion are opposed to each other, and a connecting wall portion interconnecting the outside ornamental head portion and the outside glass abutting portion. A drip groove is defined by the outside glass abutting portion, the outside ornamental head portion, and the connecting wall portion, so that the drip groove is opened toward inside of the perimeter of the window glass.

Abstract: A window molding includes an external wall portion covering a peripheral portion of an external major surface of the window glass, an internal wall portion covering a peripheral portion of an internal major surface of the window glass, and a base wall portion covering an end surface of the window glass. The base wall portion connects the external and internal wall portions together, and has a surface that is opposed and inclined to a side wall portion of a panel of the motor vehicle. A lip seals a space defined between the surface of the base wall portion and the side wall portion of the panel. The lip extends from a first location on the base wall portion to the side wall portion of the panel along portions of the molding covering straight edges of the window glass, and from a second location along portions of the molding which covers corners of window glass.

Abstract: A method for producing a window molding for an automotive vehicle having an upper molding including a leg portion, a glass limiting lip projecting from the leg portion, a head portion connected to the leg portion and the glass limiting lip and a side molding which includes the leg portion and the glass limiting lip, a strut portion connected to the leg portion, and a head portion connected to the strut portion; where a length of the strut portion and an angle between the head portion and the glass limiting lip are gradually increased from an end of said side molding connected to said upper molding to the other end is disclosed.

Abstract: A window molding installed at a clearance between a front window and a window frame of an automotive vehicle has an upper molding and a side molding continuous in the longitudinal direction. The side molding has a strut portion which is formed between a head portion for covering the clearance and a leg portion inserted to the clearance so that a length of the strut portion and an angle between the head portion and a glass limiting lip connected to the leg portion are gradually increased from an end of the side molding connected to the upper molding to the other end. The window molding is produced by extrusion molding by means of an apparatus using a fixed die head and a movable die head.
