Abstract
An opening trim which is mounted to a body flange of a door mounting opening portion of an automobile, and provided with a U-like cross-section and grasping lips on the inside of the U-like cross-section. The opening trim comprises a portion intended to grasp a thick portion of the body flange and a usual portion continuing to the portion intended to grasp the thick portion, and both portions are molded integrally by means of extrusion molding. The inclination angle of the grasping lips at least in one side of the portion intended to grasp the thick portion with respect to the flange inserting surface is made smaller than that in the usual portion. Thereby the flange pushing resisting force in the portion intended to grasp the thick portion is about equal with that in the usual portion.
