Patent ID: 7979972

Claim:
A method for assembling a molding, comprising: pre-assembling the molding by placing one of two inwardly bent longitudinal edges of a cover part, which has a channel configuration and a substantially C-shaped cross-section, in a groove in a flexible main body part, the groove being designed to receive the one of the two inwardly bent longitudinal edges of the cover part; placing the pre-assembled molding in a molding receiving fixture usable to hold the cover part in such a manner that the cover part cannot be substantially flexed when a pushing force is applied to the pre-assembled molding; applying the pushing force to the flexible main body part of the pre-assembled molding, causing the flexible main body part to at least one of flex and compress under the pressure of the pushing force; sliding the flexible main body part past the other of the two inwardly bent longitudinal edges of the cover part; seating the other of the two inwardly bent longitudinal edges of the cover part in a groove in the flexible main body part designed to receive the other of the two inwardly bent longitudinal edges of the cover part, by releasing the pushing force allowing the flexible main body part to return toward an unflexed and uncompressed state inside the channel of the cover part such that the two parts form an assembled molding; and removing the assembled molding from the molding receiving fixture.
