A molding trim for a vehicle includes a hinged flange that is molded in an open position, such that mold lifters are not required to remove the molding from the mold. The hinged flange is connected to a hollow molding body by a living hinge that is integrally formed with the molding body and hinged flange, to permit the hinged flange to be pivoted to a closed position, wherein the hinged flange is positioned against a fixed flange on the molding body. More specifically, the hinged flange is formed with an engagement lip that is advanced against the fixed flange, and continued advancement of the lip causes the lip to ride against and past the fixed flange, such that the fixed flange holds the hinged flange in the closed position. Respective strips of double-backed adhesive tape are affixed to the flanges to hold the molding onto a vehicle body when the hinged flange is in the closed position. To prevent the hinged flange from being advanced excessively far into the molding body, a rib is longitudinally formed on the hinged flange, and the rib abuts the inside surface of the molding body when the hinged flange is in the closed position. |
