Molding for automobile body panels, such as doors

摘要

A body side molding for the exterior of an automobile body comprises an inner part disposed against the body and an outer part which attaches to the inner part. The inner part has non-metallic insulating material disposed as a layer between the inner part and the vehicle body to insulate the metal of the inner part from the vehicle body. It is also formed with channels along its longitudinal marginal edges, and the outer part has complementary channels along its marginal edges which provide for its attachment to the channels of the inner part. Various decorative patterns may be imparted to the outer part by the selective application of non-metallic material to the exterior surface of the outer part.
