Abstract

To hold windshield glass in position on a vehicle, a sealing member is used which has two parallel side-by-side oppositely facing channels, one of which fits over a flange around the opening, and the other of which grips the periphery of the window glass. A stiff metal retaining member of generally channel-shape is removably fixed to the window surround as by means of threaded bolts or pins and wedges and holds the sealing member on the flange. Finally, a decorative beading covers and is fixed to the retaining member.
