摘要

An elongate molding member for automobile body components and the like, as well as a method of producing such molding members are disclosed. The molding member (11) includes a core element (12), and a cover element (13) made of synthetic resin material co-extruded about the core element (11). The core element (11) has a strip-like ornamental portion (15) which is different in color from the synthetic resin material of the cover element (13) and is to be disclosed outside by removing a separable portion (18) defined by at least one longitudinal slit (17) in the cover element (13). The ornamental portion (15) of the core element (12) has a longitudinally variable width (W1, W2) to provide an aesthetically refined appearance and to thus satisfy various ornamental design requirements.
