Abstract
A glazing is provided comprising a glass sheet with a rigid member bonded to it by adhesive which is provided on at least two discrete areas of the member or glass sheet. The adhesive may be a structural adhesive, pre-applied in tablet form, and activated by heat. The use of multiple discrete areas of adhesive allows differential thermal expansion to be accommodated. The glazing may be for a vehicle window, and the rigid member may be a plate, especially a mounting plate for ancillary equipment.
