Abstract
A mounting arrangement for mounting a windshield glass is made of plastics or rubber material with an embedded metal carrier for mounting the arrangement on a flanged joint running around the window opening. The flexible material defines a slit for receiving part of a metal frame which runs around the periphery of the window glass and may be adhesively secured to it before assembly. To facilitate insertion of the window glass, the flexible material may be bent outwardly, and is then allowed to resile and locked in the resiled position by inserting a stiffening member into a slot. The arrangement provides substantially flush-mounting of the window glass, and no part of the flexible material or of the stiffening member extends further outwards of the window opening than the metal frame to any significant extent.
