A method for fixing an attached component made of plastic, such as a trim, to a periphery of a glazing or to a portion of a molding fixed to the periphery of the glazing. The attached component includes a rear face including a fixing mechanism fixing it to the glazing or to the molding. The rear face includes appendages each of which enters a hole created in the molding or in the glazing and which is open at its two ends onto two opposite faces of the molding or glazing respectively. The distal end of each appendage projects beyond a rear face of, respectively, the molding or glazing delimiting the hole, and the distal end of each appendage is deformed by temporary softening, for example through application of ultrasound, to come into contact with the rear face of the molding or glazing at the periphery of the hole or around the entire periphery of the hole.

Method for fixing an attached component to a glazing or to a molding, fixing device for fixing the component and glazing obtained using the method

A vehicle lighting glazing, includes first and second transparent sheets each having a first face, a second face and a rim; a lamination separator in contact with the second face of the first sheet and with the first face of the second sheet, one or more light-emitting diode modules (LED modules) each including light-emitting diodes (LEDs) fixed onto a support, the modules being positioned so that the emitting face of the LEDs is facing the rim of the first sheet, and a light extraction element, wherein the second sheet extends beyond the first sheet, at least in the parts of the edge of the glazing where the LED modules are housed, so as to create, on the first face of the second sheet or on a coating covering this face, an area for receiving a bead of glue intended to fix the glazing to the bodywork of the vehicle.
