Abstract
Contoured end structures are disclosed for trim strips of the character particularly suited for mounting on an automobile to provide protective and decorative interior or exterior trim for the vehicle. The end structures have various configurations and are produced by removing a portion of the trim strip material between side portions thereof to define V-shaped notches or recesses and then deforming the remaining portions of the trim strip adjacent the recess to close the recess and bring laterally opposite edges thereof into juxtapositional relationship. The juxtaposed edges are then bonded by heat sealing to complete the forming operation.
