Abstract

An elongate molding member is provided which includes a core element and a cover element made of synthetic resin material co-extruded about the core element. The core element has a strip-like ornamental portion which is different in color from the synthetic resin material of the cover element and is to be exposed to the outside by removing a separable portion defined by at least one longitudinal slit in the cover element. The ornamental portion of the core element has a longitudinally variable width to provide an aesthetically refined appearance and to thus satisfy various ornamental design requirements.
