Window molding for automobiles

A window molding for automobiles comprising:

• an elongate leg fitted into a gap between a perimeter of a front window glass and a window frame, said perimeter comprising at least side edges and an upper edge of the front window glass;
• an inner support positioned at a first location on the leg and sustaining a rear surface of the front window glass;
• an outer support positioned at a second location on the leg and spaced from said inner support so as to bear on a front surface of the front window glass, the inner support and the outer support cooperatively sandwiching the perimeter of the front window glass;
• a head disposed at one end of the leg, said head having a lateral portion thereof extending over said outer support so as to substantially cover the outer support;
• a web member interconnecting the lateral portion of the head and the outer support, said web member being deformed according to a respective position along the perimeter of the front window glass so that the distance between the lateral portion of the head and the outer support varies according to the respective position along the perimeter of the front window glass;
• and
• a veil lip disposed on the lateral portion of the head, said veil lip being spatially separated from the front window glass and forming an obtuse angle with the lateral portions of the head so as to extend downwardly toward the front window glass at least adjacent the side edges of the front window glass so that the veil lip and said web member together define a groove opening toward the front window glass adjacent the side edges, said web member being deformed at the upper edge of the front window glass to shorten the distance between the lateral portion of the head and the outer support so that the veil lip has a portion thereof bearing on the front window glass adjacent the upper edge of the front window glass,
• said web member being comprised of first and second portions joined in an angular relation to one another, said first portion connected to the lateral portion of the head, said second portion connected to the outer support, and
• said veil lip being oriented in a normal uncompressed position substantially parallel to the second portion so that the first portion, the second portion and the veil lip provide said groove with an open-sided, substantially parallelogram-shaped cross-section.
