Plastic wheel opening molding

摘要

A one-piece plastic wheel opening molding for a vehicle fender is disclosed. The molding is shaped complementary to the wheel opening and is L-shaped in cross section to define a first flange for abutting the fender on its exterior side and a second flange having a first portion which engages the rim of the fender along its underside and a second free end portion, the second flange having a circumferential groove to define a living hinge so that the free end portion of the second flange can be pulled to stretch the living hinge and then be folded over the rim along its top side to self-biasingly retain itself in place to securely attach the molding to the fender.
