Automotive moulding or car body moulding are decorative and protective mouldings on the car body, yet functional trim or strip of automotive-grade rubber or plastic that’s installed on your car door’s exterior panel. It can be attached to either the upper, middle, or lower part of a door panel. You can also have the moulding painted to match your car’s exterior. The term applies both to the detail and the material. 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.
