The individual components include two or more of a header molding (16, 130), a bell molding (18, 132), a mirror base (12, 28, 140), a B-pillar trim piece (14, 134), a glass run channel (150, 260), a wire harness (264), a wire harness support (262), seals (24, 200, 202, 2004), a mirror (30, 114), and a window (122, 246). At least some of the components are molded together to form a unit to which other components are mounted.
