Abstract
A process for mounting a piece of glass in a bay, particularly the windshield of a motor vehicle, is disclosed which comprises forming a first bead of hardenable adhesive material on the edge of the glass to be inserted in the bay, and thereafter superpositioning said bead on a second bead of adhesive material compatible with said first bead and pressing the glass piece into the bay, while the second bead hardens. The second bead may be formed either on the first bead of adhesive material, or in the bay itself, immediately prior to insertion of the glass piece. Preferrably, the first formed bead has a section exhibiting a tongue or protrusion extending away from the periphery of the glass towards the bay, which serves to contain the lateral expansion of the second bead of adhesive material upon pressing, and hides the second bead of material from view upon insertion.
