Abstract
A decorative molding assembly for a vehicle door frame having a window opening for a transitional window pane moveable between open and closed positions. The molding assembly includes a window seal mounted to the door frame and having a channel for selective sealing engagement with the window pane. A molding strip has an arm mating with the window seal and faces outward to provide an appealing appearance. A retaining member engages the arm of the molding strip and the window seal to secure the molding strip and the window seal within the window opening of the door frame such that the window pane is securely sealed within the window opening when the window pane is in the closed position.
