Abstract
Abstract A plastic trim assembly adapted to be placed on window sills, for example. The device is essentially of three-piece construction including a base which can be secured to the existing sill, clips which fit about the base and are secured thereto and have gripping means for engaging a cover or cap unit which is snapped into place thereon and has a decorative outer surface simulating stone, for example. Both the cover and the base have a series of spaced, transversely extending reinforcements enabling the assembly to be cut to size.
