Abstract
A protective strip arrangement is provided for an outwardly swivelable flange of a door, hood, or the like of a motor vehicle. The strip is formed of elastic material and is held in position on the flange, with the flange forming a stepped shoulder with respect to the adjacent wall of the door, hood, or the like. In order to provide an uninterrupted appearance and configuration at the strip and the flange, the strip is dimensioned to completely fill in the stepped shoulder portion. Particularly preferred embodiments, the protective strip is formed L-shaped in cross section. In other preferred embodiments, the protective strip fits around the flange in a manner of a pair of pincers.
