Abstract
A method for making a window assembly for vehicles includes applying a layer of adhesion promoting primer to at least one of an opaque frit layer on a window panel or a mounting member to be bonded to the window panel, applying an adhesive to at least one of the frit layer or mounting member, and forming a joint which bonds the mounting member to the window panel by engaging the mounting member with the frit layer such that the primer and adhesive are disposed therebetween. The joint is capable of withstanding a straight pull load of greater than at least 150 pounds applied at a rate of 25 millimeters per minute without failure.
