Zusammenfassung:	The present disclosure relates to a roof ditch molding (10) for mounting in a roof ditch of a roof of a motor vehicle. The roof ditch molding (10) comprises a first portion (10a) and a second portion (10b). The a first portion (10a) is made from a molding process using a first material. The first material imparts a rigid characteristic to the first portion (10a). The first portion (10a) is further configured to at least substantially cover a major portion of a roof ditch of a vehicle roof, and to closely follow at least one contour of the roof ditch. The second portion (10b) is made from the molding process using a second material. The second material imparts a flexible characteristic to the second portion (10b) and is integrally connected to the first portion (10a) such that the second portion (10b) projects laterally outwardly of the first portion (10a) while following a contour of the first portion (10a). The second portion (10b) provides a compliant seal/transition area between the first portion (10a) and the roof ditch.
