An automobile window molding assembly includes an elongate outer ornamental member or trimming member which is secured to an automobile body panel by fastener members. The ornamental or trimming member is formed of a profiled metal member for covering a gap between a body panel and upper and side edges of a window plate mounted on the body panel. The ornamental or trimming member has upper and side portions to extend along the upper and side edges of a window plate, respectively, and a corner portion between the upper and side portions for integrally connecting them with each other. The ornamental or trimming member has such a predetermined profile that, when the assembly is mounted in place, the ornamental or trimming member is in abutment with outer surface of the window plate along the upper portion while it is spaced from the outer surface of the window plate along the side portion. A weir member is secured to the ornamental or trimming member to form a weir between the outer surface of the window plate and the ornamental or trimming member along the side portion.
