ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A molding strip system for use on a support such as a automobile, to provide decoration or protection from minor impacts, includes an elongated molding member, fastening elements for mounting the molding member on the support, and a retaining member at the end of the molding member. The retaining member includes an end cap and a tongue-shaped projection which fits into an elongated cavity in the molding member. In one embodiment, the fastening elements extend into the cavity through a continuous slot in the rear side of the molding member. Furthermore the tongue-shaped projection has an opening which accommodates a spring with a detent for latching the retaining member to the molding member and another opening which receive part of the nearest fastening element to precisely position it. In another embodiment, the fastening elements extend into the cavity through individual keyhole-shaped openings. This embodiment also has a spring with a detent for latching the retaining member to the molding member. Furthermore the end of the tongue-shaped projections keeps the nearest fastening element at the narrow end of its keyhole opening. This not only precisely posi- tions the fastening element with respect to the end cap and hence the end of the molding member, it also prevents the fastening element from reaching the large end of its keyhole opening.
