Abstract
A combination of a window glass with a trim strip intended to conceal the juncture between the window glass and the panels which define a body opening in a vehicle is disclosed in which the trim strip is formed with an inwardly projecting portion which is adhesively secured to the upper surface of the window glass adjacent its edge, an outwardly projecting portion which is intended to overlie the vehicle body panels adjacent the body opening therein, and a centrally located downwardly projecting positioning leg which bears against the edge of the window glass to correctly position the trim strip with respect to the glass. In preferred practice a rubber dam is adhered to the undersurface of the window glass adjacent its edge and the outer face of the positioning leg is formed with one or more protuberances which interlock with a sealant which is carried by the flanged body panels of the vehicle. Also, the undersurface of the inwardly projecting portion is recessed and an elastomeric layer is positioned within the recess to provide the desired adhesive securement to the glass.
