Abstract
A window molding includes an external wall portion covering a peripheral portion of an external major surface of the window glass, an internal wall portion covering a peripheral portion of an internal major surface of the window glass, and a base wall portion covering an end surface of the window glass. The base wall portion connects the external and internal wall portions together, and has a surface that is opposed and inclined to a side wall portion of a panel of the motor vehicle. A lip seals a space defined between the surface of the base wall portion and the side wall portion of the panel. The lip extends from a first location on the base wall portion to the side wall portion of the panel along portions of the molding covering straight edges of the window glass, and from a second location along portions of the molding which covers corners of window glass.
