Abstract
A method is provided of adhesively bonding an elastomeric member to a glass substrate in such a way as to accelerate the building of the strength of such bond and to a vehicle glazing having such an elastomeric member bonded to the glass substrate. This accelerated bonding process is accomplished by mixing a nucleophilic and/or electrophilic catalyst with a beneficial amount of an adhesion promoting primer applying such mixture to a peripheral portion of the glass substrate and exposing same to ambient air. By accelerating the building of the subject bond strength, the rate of 'creep' is significantly reduced.
