Abstract
A windscreen mounting arrangement for a motor vehicle comprises an integral extrusion defining to channels facing in opposite directions. One channel grips a flange surrounding the windscreen opening, and the windscreen glass is fitted into the other channel. After that, a stiffening member is placed in a groove in the extrusion to hold the glass in position. A metal reinforcing carrier embedded in the extrusion has a channel-shaped portion embracing one channel and an integral sideways extension which is embedded within the material defining the base of the other channel. This sideways extension facilitates initial fitting of the windscreen mounting arrangement onto the flange and stabilizes the mounting arrangement when it is bent to follow curves in windscreen openings.
