Abstract
An improved end cap for a rub rail is formed of two pieces, namely an inner part and an outer part. The inner part is appropriately connected to the channel strip base and has an abutment surface which underlays the end of the rub rail. The second or outer part has a squeezing surface which overlays the end of the rub rail. A screw or the like tightly attaches the outer part to the inner part and in so doing squeezes the end of the rub rail between the abutment surface and the squeezing surface thereby tightly capturing such end of the rub rail and providing a secure and decorative assembly.
