Abstract
A method of manufacturing a glass panel and gasket assembly includes providing a glass panel and a mold defining a correspondingly shaped mold cavity to create a gasket for disposition about the periphery of the glass panel, filling the mold with a gasket material, allowing the gasket material to partially cure, removing the gasket from the mold and installing the gasket on the glass panel, allowing the gasket to continue to cool, shrink and cross-link so that the gasket is in tension and therefore intimately and tightly retained about the periphery of the glass. Metal shaping and reinforcing strips may also be molded into the gasket.
