Clip for retaining a windshield molding in an automobile

Abstract

A clip for retaining molding to a predetermined inside face of a window glass receiving frame in an automotive body having a band-like support plate formed of an elastic material. The support plate includes a hook member formed integrally with the support plate to thereby define a spacing for insertion of the molding between the window glass receiving frame and the hook member and elastically engageable with the molding and a pair of wing plates formed at both outermost ends of the support plate and bent in a direction opposite to the retaining face of the support plate. The wing plates have a mechanism engageable with the support plate while the wing plates are bent substantially to 180.degree. and another mechanism effective to disengage the wing plates with the support plate, upon insertion of the molding in the spacing between the frame and the hook member of the clip.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
