A cantilever support arm is connected with the base and a compliant pad is connected on the arm to support the window glass in a direction generally perpendicular to a major plane of the window glass. A plurality of cantilever spring fingers extend from the base. Each finger has a window glass support member provided on the end of the cantilever spring finger.
