Abstract
A glass reveal molding having a generally J-shaped clamping portion which exerts substantially even gripping pressures on both the top and bottom surfaces of the glass panel is disclosed. The molding includes a relatively rigid clamping portion and a more flexible crown portion. The crown may be provided with a high gloss finish. The molding substantially eliminates roll-over or disengagement of the molding from the glass prior to complete assembly. The molding also provides a crown which covers the gap between the vehicle body and the glass panel. Also disclosed are various methods of producing the glass reveal molding.
