Automotive molding

Automotive moulding or car body moulding are decorative and protective mouldings on the car body. The term applies both to the detail and the material.

Car mouldings include side body moulding, lower body moulding, door moldings, window mouldings, footrest moulding, mudflaps, etc. They are often found in services in association with car mats, etc.

Various car mouldings must have high scratch resistance, weather resistance and gloss matching that of the car body. A common material which provides these is polyvinyl chloride.
