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: A truck bed or liner for installation in a pickup truck bed or cargo vehicle exhibits improved electrical charge dissipating characteristics. The preferred embodiment bed is manufactured of high density polyethylene (HDPE) or similar material containing particles of conductive material such as carbon black dispersed therethrough. In a first alternate embodiment, the bed defines a two-layer composite or sandwich. The upper layer of HDPE or similar material includes dispersed carbon black particles whereas the lower layer is free of such particles. A second alternate embodiment of the invention comprehends a bed liner for disposition in a pickup truck wherein the conductive material is dispersed throughout the liner material. In a third alternate embodiment, the bed liner of the second alternate embodiment is combined with the composite conductive and non-conductive layers of the first alternate embodiment.

Abstract: A skip car liner comprises a resilient elastomeric barrier which includes a backing ply adapted to hang within a skip car receptacle adjacent an inner surface of a wall of the receptacle. A plurality of parallel vertically spaced apart ribs integrally formed on the barrier project downwardly and inwardly from the inner surface of the backing ply and extend along the entire length of the ply. The ribs terminate at free ends disposed within a common plane parallel to and spaced from the inner surface of the backing ply. A horizontally spaced apart series of slits formed in each rib extend from the backing ply through the rib to and through its free end. The slits divide each rib into a plurality of discrete rib sections, each rib section being supported on the backing ply for independent deflection relative to the backing ply.
