A weatherstrip is adapted for use on an associated vehicle, and finds particular use as an outer belt. The two-part structure includes a molded exterior shell having integral attachment features, and integral wrapped end features that are unitarily or integrally molded with the shell. An extruded weatherstrip insert is placed within the shell and provides the desired sealing to the glass and attachment to a door flange. The molded shell reduces the need for extensive trim operations to otherwise create complex geometries, stretch bending and incorporates end attachment features while the aesthetic outer show surface may be chrome plated which leads to reduced scrap associated with the commonly-used stainless steel.
