Abstract

.[.A.]. .Iadd.An automobile .Iaddend.windshield molding .[.comprises.]. .Iadd.seals .Iaddend.a .[.pair of extruded side molding parts, a pair of corner molding parts, and an extruded upper molding part integral with and extending.]. .Iadd.space .Iaddend.between .[.the side.]. .Iadd.a windshield .Iaddend.and .[.corner molding parts.]. .Iadd.a periphery of a window opening of a vehicle body panel.Iaddend.. .[.Each of the.]. .Iadd.The .Iaddend.molding .[.parts includes an exterior wing.]. .Iadd.is extruded in a single piece .Iaddend.and .[.a connecting portion.]. .Iadd.includes an exterior wing to cover the space on the exterior side of the vehicle body panel.Iaddend.. The exterior wing has an .[.outward wing portion and an.]. inward wing portion .[.for covering the.]. .Iadd.which covers a .Iaddend.peripheral .[.edge of a vehicle body panel and a peripheral edge of a.]. .Iadd.surface of an automobile .Iaddend.windshield.[., respectively.]. . The inward wing portion .[.of each of the side molding part is increased its height to define a space between the peripheral surface of.]. .Iadd.has an eaves which protrudes out over .Iaddend.the windshield .[.associated with a side panel. This space serves as a water drain channel for guiding rain water to a predetermined position.]. . .Iadd.The eaves gradually becomes spaced further and further from the windshield thereby creating first water drain channels which begin approximately at first and second corner molding parts and extend towards first and second side molding parts of the windshield molding. The distance by which the eaves protrude out over the windshield gradually increases along the first and second side molding parts thus increasing the depth of the first water drain channels..Iaddend.
