A method of assembling a belt-line window molding (10) for a motor vehicle door (12) comprising i) a main body (11) including a resilient window sealing structure (30) constructed and arranged to seal a gap between the motor vehicle door and the motor vehicle window, and a mounting structure (50) constructed and arranged to mount the window molding (10) on the motor vehicle door (12), the mounting structure (50) including a rigid portion (18) and ii) a metal cover member (60) having a channel configuration constructed and arranged to cover a portion of the mounting structure (50) which is adapted to extend in overlying relation to an exterior surface of the door. The method comprises forming the main body (11) by extrusion; placing one edge of the metal cover member (60) in an edge receiving recess (62) of the main body (11); pivoting the metal cover member (60) generally about the one edge so as to cause an opposite edge of the metal cover member to engage the rigid portion (18) of the mounting structure (50); forcing the opposite edge of the metal cover member to move in sliding engagement across the rigid portion; outwardly flexing the channel configuration of the metal cover member as a result of the cover member being forced to move in sliding engagement across the rigid portion; and inwardly flexing the cover member back towards its original configuration and into gripping engagement with the rigid portion to secure the cover member to the main body.

Procédé d'assemblage d'une ceinture moulée (10) pour une fenêtre d'une porte (12) de véhicule à moteur. Ladite ceinture moulée comporte (i) un corps principal (11) possédant une structure d'étanchéité (30) souple pour fenêtre conçue et disposée de manière à boucher un écart entre la porte et la fenêtre d'un véhicule à moteur, et une structure de montage (50) conçue et disposée pour monter la ceinture moulée (10) sur la porte (12), ladite structure (50) comprenant une partie rigide (18), et (ii) un élément de couverture (60) métallique à configuration en canal, conçu et disposé de manière à couvrir une partie de la structure de montage (50) qui est adaptée pour s'étendre sur une partie de la surface extérieure de la porte. Ledit procédé consiste à former le corps principal (11) par extrusion, à placer un bord de l'élément de couverture (60) métallique dans un évidement (62) du corps principal (11), destiné à recevoir ledit bord, à faire pivoter l'élément de couverture (60) métallique autour dudit bord de manière à pousser un bord opposé de l'élément de couverture métallique à venir en contact avec la partie rigide (18) de la structure de montage (50), à forcer le bord opposé de l'élément de couverture métallique à se déplacer par contact coulissant autour de la partie rigide, à courber la configuration de canal de l'élément de couverture métallique vers l'extérieur du fait que l'élément de couverture a été forcé de se déplacer en contact coulissant autour de la partie rigide, et à courber l'élément de couverture vers l'intérieur de manière à lui redonner sa configuration initiale et à amener ledit élément en prise avec la partie rigide pour fixer l'élément de couverture au corps principal.
