Title: Composite decorative trim strip for automobile side bodies

Abstract: A composite trim strip structure comprising two adhesively bonded, non-coextensive body portions, the first body portion being a narrow strip having decorative longitudinal side strips and a second, wider body portion adapted to receive the first body portion and form additional, parallel, longitudinally decorative strips on either side of the first body portion. Each body portion is backed with elastomeric adhesive layers. When the trim strip is assembled and adhered to the side of a car, the plural adhesive layers serve to distribute impact force and the trim strip better resists separation from the car when impacted.
