Abstract
An improved mounting system for attaching an automotive window panel to a window regulating mechanism for raising and lowering the window panel as a mounting bracket for connecting the window panel to the window regulating mechanism. The mounting bracket has a horizontal base member and a pair of leg members extending upwardly from the base member, thereby forming a U-shaped channel for receiving a bottom edge of the window panel. Each of the upwardly extending leg members has at least one opening therein for receiving a curable adhesive applied between the bottom edge of the window panel and the mounting bracket to adhesively hold the window panel in the generally U-shaped channel. The curable adhesive flows into the at least one opening to form a supplemental mechanical interlock between the mounting bracket and the window panel upon curing.
