Hatchback for a motor vehicle comprises a bordering frame which is glued together with and surrounds at least in part an edge area of a window. The bordering frame, at least in a partial area of its circumferential course, has a covering part resting on the exterior side of the window and on the bordering frame. In order to provide such a hatchback which has a simple construction, can be manufactured fast and at low cost, and reliably meets the requirements with respect to tightness, a method of manufacture forms the covering part by direct foaming around the bordering frame and of an edge area of the window.

Motor vehicle hatchback and a method for producing same

A device for fastening a motor vehicle window is detachably connected to the body frame of a motor vehicle. The device is composed of a holding plate attached to the body frame, and a supporting element connected to the holding plate. The lower edge of the window always rests on the supporting element with a relatively large contact area, thereby preventing stress induced breakage. Also included is a control element which adjusts the position of the supporting element relative to the holding plate, thereby allowing the window to be properly positioned along the window plane before fixing it to the body frame by an adhesive.
