The body has a central portion and two side portions connected at one end to the respectively adjacent end of the central portion. The central portion includes a front glass pane receiving groove, and the side portions each include a rainwater guide and a front glass pane receiving groove for supporting a front glass pane in cooperation with the glass pane receiving groove in said central portion. A glass pane support board helps retain the glass in cooperation with the leg of the moulding.
