Abstract
A spacer for installation along the upper or lower horizontal edge of a vehicle windshield. The spacer is used to maintain the support bracket at a predetermined distance and perpendicular to the surface of the windshield. The spacer includes a first surface for contact with the windshield edge, a second surface for contact with the bracket, and a support surface which works a support element fastened to the bracket for maintaining the bracket substantially perpendicular to the edge of the windshield. The windshield, equipped with the spacer, can thus be positioned by itself by simple alignment of the spacer on the bracket support element while an adhesive is applied between the windshield and bracket and cures without further support.
