Abstract
A window molding member for automobiles includes upper and side segments to extend along upper and side edges of a window plate, respectively. Each segment comprises a leg section projecting from its main body to be inserted into a gap between the window plate and an automobile body panel. The leg section has a pair of webs defining a groove therebetween, for accommodating the edge of the window plate, and defines a channel along the side edge of the window plate. The molding is manufactured by a method which includes the steps of extruding continuous bodies corresponding to the main body and the leg section of the molding member, removing a predetermined amount of material from at least one of the extruded continuous bodies, and thereafter causing the extruded bodies to adhere with each other.
