Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A flange finisher particularly well adapted for attachment to a flange of a motor vehicle as a pair side walls joined by a web portion to form a U-shaped channel. Extending from one side wall into the channel are a plurality of small ribs.
Extending from the other side wall into the channel and in opposition to the small ribs is a long foot wall which carries a plurality of ridges.

Thus, in accurdance with the present invention a flange finisher is provided which can be fitted to a flange without undue force and yet has :increased resistance to removal from the flange once fitted thereon. A flange finisher of the present invention has a pair of side walls joined by a web portion to form a U-shaped channel.
Extending from one side wall into the channel are a plurality of small ribs. Extending from the other side wall into the channel and in opposition to the small ribs is a long foot wall which carries a plurality of ridges. Further understanding of the present invention will be had from the following disclosure.
Thus, the present invention may be considered as defining a pair of side walls joined by a web to form a U-shaped channel, one or more relatively short ribs extending into the channel from one of the pair of side walls, sealing means having a hook configuration extending from one of the side walls such that the sealIng means extends above the U-shaped channel and is adapted to contact a flange inserted into the channel, a second sealing means in the channel, the second means comprised of a sponge rubber member having a ; pair of~lateral ends spann~ing the web such that the lateral ends are joined at the junction of the side wall and web so that a cavity is formed between the member and the web, the sponge rubber member adapted to seal with the flange, and a re]atively long foot with a plurality of ridges thereon extending into the channel from the other of the pair of side walls.
