A method and apparatus for securing moldings to vehicle bodies is disclosed. The molding preferably,slidably receives clips at spaced locations along its length, wherein the clips have adhesive at their rear face. A desired amount of adhesive is selected for the particular molding, and spacing between the clips along the length of the molding is determined to achieve a desired adhesive area. In preferred embodiments of the present invention, the clip is configured such that it is slidably received within channels on the molding, and has a unique structure which provides sufficient amounts of material of the molding to the vehicle body.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. The combination of a molding and a clip for securing the molding comprising:a molding having a front face and a rear face, said molding extending for a first length and having lateral ends, said lateral ends defining channels; anda clip carried on said molding, said clip having an adhesive tape face facing rearwardly of said molding, a metal substrate receiving said tape, a plurality of plastic bearing surfaces extending forwardly from said metal substrate, the laterally outermost of said bearing surfaces extending laterally outwardly of the outermost ends of said metal substrate, the outermost bearing surfaces being received in said channels, said metal substrate extending for a lateral distance greater than the lateral extent of said tape, such that there is metal substrate at locations where there is no tape. [4.]4. The combination of a molding and a clip for securing the molding comprising:a molding having a front face and a rear face, said molding extending for a first length and having lateral ends, said lateral ends defining channels; anda clip carried on said molding, said clip having an adhesive tape face facing rearwardly of said molding, a metal substrate receiving said tape, a plurality of plastic bearing surfaces extending forwardly from said metal substrate, the laterally outermost of said bearing surfaces extending laterally outwardly of the outermost ends of said metal substrate, the outermost bearing surfaces being received in said channels, said metal substrate extending for a lateral distance, there being at least two pieces of laterally spaced adhesive tape, said metal substrate extending beyond said two pieces of tape laterally such that said metal substrate is at areas wherein there are no tape pieces. [5.]5. The combination of a molding and a clip for securing the molding comprising:a molding having a front face and a rear face, said molding extending for a first length and having lateral ends, said lateral ends defining channels; anda clip carried on said molding, said clip having an adhesive tape face facing rearwardly of said molding, a metal substrate receiving said tape, a plurality of plastic bearing surfaces extending forwardly from said metal substrate, the laterally outermost of said bearing surfaces extending laterally outwardly of the outermost ends of said substrate, the outermost bearing surfaces being received in said channels, said metal substrate being shaped to provide structure and configuration for said clip, said metal substrate being shaped to correspond generally to the outer periphery of a vehicle which is to receive said molding.
