Abstract
The present invention provides a retention system for use with a curable adhesive for retaining a glass window pane supported on a flange of an automotive vehicle body. The system has a glass window pane secured to the inner surface of a moulding. A flange is spaced a first distance from the outer surface of the moulding, and this flange is spaced a second distance from the rear surface of the moulding. The rear surface of the molding contains a trapezoidal or conical shaped recess. A curable adhesive is received within the first spaced distance, the second spaced distance and the trapezoidal or conical shaped recess to form a mechanical interlock within this recess.
