Abstract
A device is provided for resiliently retaining an end portion of a decorative trim molding onto an automobile body panel wherein the molding is aligned with a similar molding on a bumper member, the bumper member being mounted for movement relative to the automobile body, on impact. The device allows the end portion of the molding member to move outwardly from the body a distance to allow the aligned molding on the bumper to move past it, thereby preventing buckling of the body panel molding. The device is effective to return the molding to the aligned position on the body after a plurality of such impacts.
