Provided is a process for producing an automotive glass with a member in a highly efficient and space-saving manner. The process for producing an automotive glass with a member comprises bonding together an adhesion surface of an adherend and an adhesion surface of an automotive glass using an adhesive, and then curing the adhesive using a superheated steam generator, thereby attaching the adherend to the automotive glass; wherein the superheated steam generator comprises (1) a boiler part for generating steam, (2) a superheating unit for superheating the steam generated in the boiler part, and (3) a superheated steam vessel equipped internally with one or more heaters and one or more superheated steam outlets for discharging the superheated steam supplied from the superheating unit; and wherein the step of curing the adhesive is performed by covering the adherend placed on the automotive glass with the superheated steam vessel, spraying the superheated steam from the one or more superheated steam outlets to the adherend, and then spraying dry gas.

A sun-roof assembly comprises a transparent member having first and second peripheral edge portions. A first supporting member is connected to the first peripheral edge portion of the transparent member and has a first supporting edge disposed on the first peripheral edge portion of the transparent member, a second supporting edge and a web portion extending from the first and second supporting edges. A second supporting member is connected to the second peripheral edge portion of the transparent member and has first and second supporting edges and an inflated portion disposed between the first and second supporting edges. A connecting member integrally connects the first and second supporting members, the connecting member having a holding portion connected to the web portion of the first supporting member, a spacer portion extending from the holding portion and disposed between the inflated portion of the second supporting member and the second peripheral edge portion of the transparent member, and an abutting portion extending from the holding portion and connected to the second supporting member.
