Abstract
A mounting arrangement for a windscreen glass is shown. Around the top and sides of the windscreen opening, a rubber section is mounted on a bodywork flanged joint, the rubber having embedded in it a metal carrier which has an extension which emerges outside the plastics to provide an exposed stiff metal lip which partially embraces a recess holding mastic. The section of the mounting arrangement along the bottom of the windscreen opening differs in that its metal carrier does not have such extension or the exposed metal lip, and the plastics immediately beneath the recess has a slot into which a stiffening member can be clipped. The windscreen is mounted in position by sliding it upwardly in to the sides and top of the windscreen opening. The glass is thus trapped in position behind the exposed metal lip and sealed and adhesively secured by the mastic. It is then fixed in position in the section along the lower part of the windscreen opening by bending the base of the recess in that section downwards, pushing the glass into the mastic and allowing the rubber to resile upwards with a flap thereof making contact with the outside of the glass. The stiffening member is then replaced into position in the slot mentioned above.
