Abstract
An improved weatherstrip molding or trim strip includes a dual durometer, coextruded molding body, with a laminated decorative film strip bonded to the harder durometer portion of the molding body in order to provide improved resistance to physical damage and environmental conditions for the film strip. The film strip offers the capability of providing a color-matched or color-coordinated appearance for a vehicle body, as well as a wide variety of gloss levels.
