Abstract
The disclosure concerns a sectional molding of an elastic material, used for spanning the gap between a pane of glass and the adjacent panel in a window opening of a motor vehicle, or the like. The sectional molding has a generally "I" shaped cross-section, including an ascending web in the gap, a transverse web spanning the space between the pane and the panel and mounting flanges away from the transverse web and extending out from the sides of the ascending web. The mounting flanges are more pliable than the webs and are folded back toward the transverse web upon installation of the sectional molding in the gap. Stiffeners are provided in the ascending and transverse web. Projections on the leading surfaces of the mounting flanges help to secure the same in the gap. A bead at the inserted end of the ascending web anchors the same in sealant in the gap.
