Abstract
A method for producing a window molding for an automotive vehicle having an upper molding including a leg portion, a glass limiting lip projecting from the leg portion, a head portion connected to the leg portion and the glass limiting lip and a side molding which includes the leg portion and the glass limiting lip, a strut portion connected to the leg portion, and a head portion connected to the strut portion; where a length of the strut portion and an angle between the head portion and the glass limiting lip are gradually increased from an end of said side molding connected to said upper molding to the other end is disclosed. The method includes extruding an intermediate molding from a die head, extruding an intermediate molding from a second die head, integrally connecting the first and second intermediate moldings, and continuously changing a length of the strut portion and an angle between the glass limiting lip and the head portion synchronously with the extruding operation of the first and second intermediate moldings.
